Doing Fás Course. Not entitled to Jobseekers :(

callaway92 · 2011-10-13 17:14:59

Hi guys, I got my means test in the post today which came out as €199, and to be able to earn Jobseekers I have to have a maximum means of €100. I have never received Dole/Jobseekers/College Grants etc, but have also never worked. I am 19 years old. At the moment I am taking a year out of college. I got a job with a local…

Hi guys, I got my means test in the post today which came out as €199, and to be able to earn Jobseekers I have to have a maximum means of €100.

I have never received Dole/Jobseekers/College Grants etc, but have also never worked. I am 19 years old.

At the moment I am taking a year out of college. I got a job with a local company which first has a 10 week training course before the job starts in January. I started it this past Monday. The training also earns you a Level 5 Fetac qualification in Customer Care. Fás pay everyone for the course, but you have to be entitled to Jobseekers to receive payment.

One of the bosses at work told me a couple of days ago, even if the Employment Office at home, but €1 into a petrol allowance, that Fás will still pay the €188 for the course to me. A woman working for Fás also said this is true. Now though, I see I can't receive any JSA. Do you think if I went into my local Employment Office with the Fás form that they would even just put any number into the box that says Petrol Allowance. In the end of the day, they won't be paying me anything anyway. It is Fás.

I know I passed the means test thing, but I still hate having to ask Mam and Dad for money the whole time when I am 19.

If anybody could help, I'd be grateful.

Kind Regards
