OPf and CE scheme?

Have also posted this on ask about money..

Hi all I have just been offered a place on a CE scheme and I'm delighted and confused. I know that the double payments are no more on CE schemes and I have tried to figure out how much of my OPF payment I loose and I can't (thankfully job wont include numbers !!)

I am wondering if anyone here would be able to tell me how much i will loose. I am a lone parent with 3 children.

I tried to work it out using http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:sYKZkm_bH2wJ:www.citizensinformation.ie/SharedObjects/shared-files/worksheet-one-parent-family-payment-and-community-employment+ce+scheme+opf+worksheet&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ie&client=firefox-a

it just confused me tho!!

Also do I need to inform the OPF section that I am on a CE scheme or do FAS do that??

Thanks for any help

do you know how much your net pay will be from the ce scheme?You will need to tell ofp section about the ce scheme aswel and they will need to know how much you are earning per week.

the basic rate for the ce scheme is €216 plus €29.80 for each child but I think because I get the €29.80 from the OPF already I wouldn't get that from the CE scheme too. to be honest its all really confusing me I get €285.40 from the OPF at the min.
