If you are an employee or you are self-employed you are covered under the Redundancy Benefit, if you become involuntarily unemployed as a result of either:

• involuntary redundancy; or
• dismissal by no choice of your own; or
• a business you have a beneficial interest in is placed into insolvency administration; or
• your fixed term employment contract of 12 months or more ceasing prior to the agreed termination date by no choice of your own;

and you continue to be unemployed after the waiting period.
