If you are in insurable employment, you pay a PRSI contribution each week. PRSI contributions are not made when you: - are absent from work due to an illness, or - are unemployed. However, you may qualify for credited contributions. These credits are like the PRSI contributions you pay while you are working. Credits are usually awarded at the same class as your last paid PRSI contribution. Credits are important because they can help you qualify for social welfare payments. Credits awarded during periods of unemployment or illness for example, ensure that your social insurance record remains unbroken. You may get credits for periods on: - Jobseeker's Benefit or Allowance, - Illness Benefit, - Maternity Benefit, - Adoptive Benefit, - Health & Safety Benefit, - Invalidity Pension, - Carer's Benefit, - Prescribed Relative Allowance, - Jobseeker's Allowance, - One-Parent Family Payment, - Disability Allowance, - Occupational Injury Benefit, - Carer's Allowance. *An insured person may qualify for an employment contribution credit in respect of any week in which they are in receipt of One-Parent Family Payment provided that immediately prior to such claim they were entitled to credits and in receipt of Illness Benefit, Occupational Injury, Jobseekers Benefit or Allowance, Carers Benefit or Allowance, Maternity Benefit, Health and Safety Benefit, Adoptive Benefit, Disability Allowance or Invalidity Pension. You may qualify for credits if you take part in a: - Back to Education Allowance Scheme - Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS) - Any other course of education approved by the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, - SOLAS training course, - An education and training board specified in Schedule 2 to the Education and Training Boards Act 2013, - National Tourism Development Authority, - Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) training course, or - Teagasc training course. Note If you are not getting a social welfare payment, you may still qualify for credits.

Más i bhfostaíocht inárachaithe thú, íocann tú ranníocaíocht ÁSPC gach seachtain. Ní dhéantar ranníocaíochtaí ÁSPC nuair atá tú: - as láthair ón obair de dheasca breoiteachta, nó - dífhostaithe. Is féidir, áfach, go gcáileoidh tú do ranníocaíochtaí curtha chun sochair (ranníocaíochtaí creidiúnaithe). Tá na creidmheasanna seo cosúil leis na creidmheasanna ÁSPC a íocann tú le linn duit a bheith ag obair. Is iondúil go mbronntar creidmheasanna ar an aicme chéanna agus do ranníocaíocht íoctha dheireanach ÁSPC. Is tábhachtach iad na creidmheasanna toisc gur féidir leo cabhrú leat cáiliú d'íocaíochtaí leasa shóisialaigh. Cinnteoidh na creidmheasanna a bhronntar i rith tréimhsí dífhostaíochta nó breoiteachta, mar shampla, go mbeidh do thaifead árachais shóisialaigh gan bhriseadh. Is féidir go bhfaighidh tú creidmheasanna as tréimhsí ar: - Sochar nó Liúntas do Lucht Cuardaigh Fostaíochta, - Sochar Breoiteachta, - Sochar Máithreachais, - Sochar Uchtaíoch, - Sochar Sláinte & Sábháilteachta, - Pinsean Easláine, - Sochar Cúramóra, - Íocaíocht Teaghlaigh Aontuismitheora*, - Liúntas Míchumais, - Sochar Díobhála Ceirde, - Liúntas Cúramóra. * Is féidir go gcáileoidh duine árachaithe do chreidmheas um ranníocaíocht fostaíochta i dtaca le haon seachtain ina bhfaigheann sé/sí Íocaíocht Teaghlaigh Aontuismitheora ar chuntar, díreach roimh éileamh dá leithéid, go raibh sé/sí i dteideal creidmheasanna agus go raibh Sochar Breoiteachta, Sochar Díobhála Ceirde, Sochar nó Liúntas do Lucht Cuardaigh Fostaíochta, Sochar nó Liúntas Cúramóra, Sochar Máithreachais, Sochar Sláinte agus Sábháilteachta, Sochar Uchtaíoch, Liúntas Míchumais nó Sochar Easláine á fháil aige/aici. Is féidir go gcáileoidh tú do chreidmheasanna má ghlacann tú páirt in aon cheann díobh seo a leanas: - Scéim Liúntais um Fhilleadh ar Oideachas, - Scéim Deiseanna Oiliúna Gairmoideachais (SDOG/VTOS), - Aon chúrsa oideachais eile arna fhaomhadh ag an Aire Coimirce Sóisialaí, - Cúrsa oiliúna SOLAS, - Cúrsa boird oideachais agus oiliúna arna shonrú i Sceideal 2 a ghabhann leis an Acht um Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna 2013, - Cúrsa an Údaráis Náisiúnta Forbartha Turasóireachta, - Cúrsa oiliúna an Bhoird Iascaigh Mhara (BIM), nó - Cúrsa oiliúna Teagasc Tabhair faoi deara Mura bhfaigheann tú íocaíocht leasa shóisialaigh, is féidir fós go gcáileoidh tú do chreidmheasanna.
