PRSI Contribution Statement: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access your record of social insurance payments to ensure you are eligible for future pensions and benefits.
This statement provides a formal record of your social insurance payments, which are used to determine your eligibility for various state benefits and your future pension.
Who it's for
This service is available to all employees. If you are working and paying social insurance through your employment, you are eligible to access your records.
What you get
When you access your statement, you receive an official record of your social insurance payments. This document tracks the contributions made on your behalf during your working life. Having an accurate record is vital because these payments are the primary way the state determines whether you qualify for a state pension or other social insurance-related benefits when you need them.
What it costs you
There is no fee to request or view your statement; the service is entirely free. To use the digital service, you must have a MyGovID, which is a secure way to verify your identity online when accessing government services.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is to check this statement annually. You should not wait until you are ready to retire to look at these records. By checking your statement every year, you can verify that your employer is correctly calculating and paying the required social insurance amounts into the system. Identifying a mistake early makes it much easier to resolve with your employer or the relevant authorities.
