I understand that the Deputy is referring to Article 83 of S.I. 312 of 1996 (the ‘Social Welfare (Consolidated Contributions and Insurability) Regulations 1996’) which concerns the conditions relating to the payment of a modified rate of PRSI for certain categories of workers.

Requests for insurability decision from a number of employees relating to the modified rate of insurance have been received in the Scope Section of the Department These can be complex cases and a number of these decisions have been appealed to the Social Welfare Appeals Office.

It is open to any worker who has an query about their social insurance classification to contact the Scope Section of my Department.
