Family Income Supplement

Kotek Besar · 2009-02-05 14:18:59

Quick question, Would my wife's Jobseeker's Benefit be counted as my income, if I claim Family Income Supplement (if I am employed full time and earn less than €500 per week and have a child)? Thanks.

According to the citizens information website, you would be assessed as a couple if you apply for the family income supplement so your wife's jobseekers benefit would be counted as income.
