Job bridge intership query

    I applied for a Job Bridge placement last October, while I was still on JobSeekers benefit. Those payments stopped at the beginning of January 2012, and I am now a dependent on my husband (who is on Illness benefit i.e I am not getting a payment in my own right). I have been contacted by the Job host (the provider of the work placement) last week, who seems keen to employ me, so my query is: Will I still qualify for the €50 intership payment if I am offered the job placement since I am not getting a payment in my own right. The host company was unable to answer my query. I am still signing on for credits.

    You are still entitled to participate in Jobsbridge if you are in receipt of credits - you just receive the €50 top up.
    You can claim Jobseeker's Allowance, and receive the Adult Dependent portion of the payment paid directly to you if you wanted to claim and get a payment in your own right.
