New COVID-19 Income Relief Payment
25 May 2020.
The Government has announced new support for people who’ve lost their jobs because of the impacts of COVID-19.
From 8 June, the COVID-19 Income Relief Payment will provide up to 12 weeks of financial support.
It will help soften the shock and minimise disruption from sudden unemployment, giving people time to look for other work and adjust their living costs.
