Who can claim PRSI entitlements?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Treatment Benefit Scheme is available to insured workers, the self-employed and retired people who have the required number of social insurance (PRSI) contributions.<\/span><\/p>\n

To qualify, you must have paid class A, E, P, H or S social insurance (PRSI) contributions. The amount of social insurance you need depends on your age.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant does not have enough social insurance contributions, he\/she may still qualify for Treatment Benefit on your social insurance record. To do this, you must qualify for Treatment Benefit and your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant must be dependent on you.<\/span><\/p>\n
