There will be new changes to the Pandemic Unemployment Payment today as three new rates will apply.
In a move announced back in July the Government have confirmed that the pandemic payment will last until April 1st 2021.
Under the new changes which will last until January 31st 2021, those whose earned less than €200 per week in their previous job, will receive the rate of €203 per week.
The changes will all are those who earned prior between €200 and €300 per week, receiving 250 per week, whilst those who earned over €300 per week will receive €300 per week.
According to Government guidelines the payment will then be reduced to two rates in February 2021, with those who had earnings less than €300 per week receiving €203 per week, and those who had earnings over €300 per week, receiving €250 per week.
