Giving your employer your PPS number will also allow your social welfare contributions to be recorded along with any contributions you paid in previous periods of employment. If you’ve been out of work for a number of years however, you won’t qualify for short-term social welfare payments such as Illness Benefit immediately. You’ll be immediately covered for Injury Benefit if you’re unable to work due to an accident at work.
How soon you qualify for the various social welfare benefits will depend on the type of benefit and circumstances before returning to work.
