How long does my payment last?

Leaflet Sections

If you have 260 weeks PRSI contributions paid since you first started work, you may get Illness Benefit for a maximum of 2 years.

If you have between 104 and 259 weeks PRSI contributions paid, you may qualify for Illness Benefit for up to 52 weeks. At the end of this period, you must get an extra 13 paid contributions (or a lower number if it brings the total contributions up to 260) to requalify for benefit.
