Contribution PRSI pendant le unpaid maternity leave

Le sujet a ete evoque hier soir et du coup je post les infos ici pour que tout le monde en profite.
Voici ci-dessous le copier-coller du mail d'une copine. Pour resumer, sacher que meme pendant le unpaid maternity leave, vous etes sense continuer a accumuler les semaines de cotisations PRSI (donc droit a futur maternity leave, chomage, retraite, etc...)
Le lien pour remettre votre "record" a jour est dans le mail ci-dessous:
f you took unpaid maternity leave, then you should also apply for PRSI credits for the time you were off and not making any PRSI contruibutions - so for example, it looks like in 2011, I had 18 weeks of no prsi credits as I took unpaid mat leave and 2 weeks of unpaid parental leave … the reason you need to do this is if I was made redundant or on mat leave in 2013 and wanted to apply to the Social Insurance Fund, they will look at 2011 in 2013, they might decide that I didn't have enough credits and wouldn't give it to me ... so you need to tell them to give you the credits - there's no cost to you and you don't get any money back and again for pension entitlements in years to come they might look at your records and think you weren't contributing to the social insurance fund and therefore aren't entitled to anything back from it.

Hello Choubi,

merci beaucoup pour l'info!! Je n'etais pas du tout au courant qu'il fallait faire soi-meme cette demande de 'mise a jour'...

Par contre, si je ne m'abuse, il faut le demander tout de suite, non ? Est-ce que ça peut se régulariser après coup ?

Merci pour cette info précieuse ! Je vais aller voir ton lien tout de suite !
