No index adjustment to earnings-related unemployment allowance in 2025

Benefits that were frozen by the Government from 2024 to 2027 will not be adjusted with the National Pensions Index at the beginning of 2025. This index freeze also applies to the basic component of earnings-related unemployment allowance.

This means that the amount of the basic earnings-related unemployment allowance will not increase in 2025 and instead will remain the same as in 2024: €37.21 per day.
