Pandemic Unemployment Payments will cease for full-time students with the start of the 2021/2022 academic year. The last payment to students will be 7 September 2021. This reflects the fact that, as colleges and universities reopen, students will no longer be available to take up full-time employment and would not under normal circumstances qualify for an unemployment payment while at college.

You will be contacted over the course of the summer where you will be asked if you still satisfy the conditions to get the Pandemic Unemployment Payment. You will have to confirm if you are, or intend to be registered as a full-time student with any school, university, college or other education/training provider for the academic year 2021/2022. The responses to this campaign will be used to identify your student status.
