    Hi, I've been receiving the BTEA for the last few years and come summer I've had to sign on. Has anyone heard if this will occur or has changed due to COVID?

    Hello
    I am in the same situation and I cannot find info anywhere. Sign-ons have stopped for the time being over Covid (as far as the gov.ie site states) I presume we have to sign on for the summer but I do not know as I cannot get through to the office. If anyone has information on this, please post it.

    I haven't heard anything specific about BTEA. I would assume normal principles apply, ie that you must meet the conditions for Jobseekers over the summer period and will have to make an application. You would expect to be available for and looking for full-time work, although in the current environment, I wouldn't expect too much scrutiny on that end of things.

    As signing on is currently suspended for all Jobseekers, you won't have to actually sign on, but as I understand it, there will be an automatic stop date built into your claim, so unless they change that, your payment will automatically stop when it gets to the end of the academic year.

    If there is any interruption in your payment, or if there is delay in processing the Jobseekers application, you can of course apply for SWA from the Community Welfare Officer.
