JSB running out

sash

hi! would love if somebody could help

i have been on jsb casual dockets the past maybe 9 months on and off
was told the last time i went on that my stamps would be soon ending think maybe april or that.

Just wondering if they do run out can i reapply for jsb and will they would be looking at 2009 year at the stamps. Because i know i made 50 stamps in that year. or do they make a big deal out of paperwork and looking for info from employer AGAIN?!

im not really upto date will all this and my social welfare are full of grumpy unhelpful people please help!

If you have used up your entitlement to Jobseeker's Benefit (JB), you may re-qualify by working and paying the appropriate PRSI contributions for at least 13 weeks. If you are working and getting JB, as in the case of systematic short-time workers and some part-time workers, the 13 weeks paid contributions can begin once you have claimed JB for 156 days.
You must have suffered a substantial loss of employment to re-qualify for JB, unless you are a casual worker. If you have lost your job you will have suffered a substantial loss of employment. If you are a part-time or systematic short-time worker DSP will look at your pattern of employment over the last 13 weeks or another representative period to find out whether you have suffered a substantial loss of employment.
For example, if you are getting JB and working 3 days each week as a systematic short-time worker or a part-time worker and your employment pattern has not changed during the course of your JB claim, you will not have suffered a substantial loss of employment and will not re-qualify for Jobseeker’s Benefit. However, if your JB claim ends and your 3 day week working week is then reduced to a 2 day week, you will have suffered a substantial loss of employment and may re-qualify for Jobseeker’s Benefit.

If you do not re-qualify for JSB you can apply for Jobseekers Allowance which is means tested.
