Jobseekers - Will it affect my Work and Social Welfare Payments?
This depends on a number of factors:
- What social welfare entitlements you are receiving, disability payments and secondary benefits.
- The amount earned and the number of hours that you will be working.
- With certain benefits you will have to apply for an exemption to allow you to take up employment.
- The job coach can speak to you on an individual basis and give you the information that you need.
- Or you can contact your Community Welfare Officer or look up on www.citizensinformationboard.ie or call your local Citizens Information Centre.
