Are people in receipt of payments from the social entitled to go abroad to another european country and look for work or even start a business and still receive their payments for a period of time, or even change their payments to the other country for a period while looking?
I'm not taking the piss here, dont want to be on any payments either here or abroad but the buzz from work/business, making a few bob here is gone, nothing happening, need to be near a little action. Going insane here.

You can transfer Jobseeker's Benefit for up to 78 days (I think). Not Assistance.

(c) Transfer of Benefit - Article 69

Under this Article a person who has been in receipt of JB in one of the European countries for at least 4 weeks, may transfer this benefit to one of the other European countries for a maximum of 13 weeks (78 days), provided the person is seeking employment in that country. The person registers as unemployed in the country to which s/he travels, and the local social services office pays the benefit, subsequently recouping it from the home country.

(d) Outgoing cases from Ireland

A person in receipt of Irish JB may transfer the JB claim to one of the European countries for up to 13 weeks (78 days). If s/he has claimed less than 4 weeks JB before the date of their departure, s/he may still be permitted to transfer on production of a letter from FÁS confirming that s/he is unlikely to secure full-time employment in this country in the foreseeable future. The form E303 must be completed by the local office with details of rates of payment etc. The claimant takes this form to the social services office of the country to which they are travelling.

EU Records section should be contacted for further details of the procedures to be followed in such cases.

Thanks for that

Ask to speak with the Job Facilitator in the local dole office. They can give you money to start own business and may qualify for Back To Work Initiative scheme where you keep a portion of the dole for a few years. Also, they should have a free publication on how to set up a business.
