Section 3 - Benefits Abroad This section explains Social Insurance for people working abroad. It covers: - Social Insurance and EC Regulations for workers - Bilateral Social Security Agreements. Contents Social Insurance and EC Regulations Bilateral Social Security Agreements with other countries Return to Main Table of Contents 3.1 Social Insurance and EC Regulations The EC Regulations apply to people who travel and work within the European Economic Area (EEA). The Regulations allow workers to combine periods of social insurance in any of the EEA countries to help them qualify for a benefit or pension. Countries covered by EC Regulations *Certain limits apply to Jobseeker's Benefit in relation to Switzerland. EC Regulations make sure that if you go to work in any of the above countries: - you receive the same treatment in social security matters as nationals of those countries, - you can use periods of social insurance to help you qualify for social security benefits here, and - you and your family can receive the benefits to which you are entitled. The EC Regulations in general only cover: - workers and people getting social security benefits who are nationals* of any of these countries and people with the status of stateless people or refugees living permanently in any of these countries, and - the dependants and survivors of these people (regardless of their nationality). * Third country nationals must have been employedd in two or more member States ( with the exception of Denmark). In situations where a third country national only has links with a third country and a single member State, EC Regulations will not apply. Benefits covered The Regulations cover: - Illness and Maternity Benefits (including health care), - Benefits for an accident at work or occupational disease, - Invalidity Pension, - State Pension (Contributory) and State Pension (Transition), - Widow's or Widower's and Guardian's Payment (Contributory), - Jobseeker's Benefit, - Child Benefit, - Bereavement Grant, and - Treatment Benefit. In general, Child Benefit is paid in the EU country where you are employed regardless of where your family lives. Note: Apply for a European Health Insurance Card if you are intending to travel on a temporary stay to another EU member state, EEA member state or Switzerland. The Card, which replaced the old form E111, means that you can get necessary health care in the public system of any of the countries if you become ill or injured while on temporary stay there. If you already have either a medical card or a Drugs Payment Scheme card you can apply for the European Health Insurance Card on-line at www.ehic.ie If not, you can apply directly at your local Health Service Executive office. More information is available on www.ehic.ie or from your local Health Service Executive office. Working in another country covered by EC Regulations In general, if you take up work in another country covered by EC Regulations, you will no longer be covered by the Irish PRSI system. The social security laws of that country will apply to you instead. If you are covered by social insurance and later apply for a sickness or an unemployment payment in the other country, you may be asked for details of your Irish PRSI record. This allows the social security authority in the other country to consider any periods of insurance you had in Ireland when deciding your entitlement. For sickness benefit, your Irish PRSI record is on form For unemployment payments (similar to Jobseeker�s Benefit), it is on form You will need to provide the following information and documents to the authorities in the country where you are making your claim: - full name, - PPS No., - Irish address, - forwarding address, - your P45 form(s) for work in the current tax year, and - your P60 for the last tax year. The authority needing the forms can request them by writing to the following address: EU Records Section Department of Social Protection McCarter's Road Ardarvan Buncrana Co. Donegal IRELAND LoCall: 1890 690 690 (from the Republic of Ireland only) Telephone: +353 1 4715898 (from Northern Ireland or overseas) Returning from another country covered by EC Regulations When you are returning from one of these countries, you should apply to the appropriate agency in that country for your E301 and E104 forms. These will show a record of your contributions while abroad and will help speed up the payment of benefits under EC Regulations. Transfer of jobseeker's payments abroad If you have been getting Jobseeker's Benefit in Ireland for at least 4 weeks and wish to go to a country covered by EC Regulations to look for work, you can receive this payment abroad for up to 78 days. To obtain this you must inform the office where you 'sign-on' at least 4 weeks before you leave so that the necessary arrangements may be made in time. In the other country you must 'sign-on' within 7 days of the date you last signed on in your local Social Welfare Office. For more information on transferring your Jobseeker's Benefit, contact EU Records Section at the address above.
