Part Time Job Incentive

    I was wondering if anyone knows how to go about applying for this scheme? My boyfriend is working part time (max 20 hours pw) and they have advised him to go to the welfare and ask about this......However, he has had issues with trying to claim welfare in his "own right" before as he is Scottish. The welfare told him he wasn't Habitually Resident because he had no ties here but since then circumstances have changed....he obviously has a job now, is playing football with a local team and has signed a lease....all of which he didnt have before.

    I have looked up things on the welfare webpage about it but NOTHING (that i have seen anyway) has been mentioned about needing to be Habitually Resident in relation to this claim.....

    Any help would be great,

    Thanks

    Part-time job incentive scheme is open only to long term unemployed. http://www.welfare.ie/EN/Publications/SW69/Pages/2Whoiseligible.aspx
    I think what his employers are telling him to do is apply for casual jobseekers. He will have to satisfy habitual residence and go through that process again. It depends on how long he is in the country and also how long this job is likely to last for.

    Thanks for that. I was claiming for him as an adult dependent until I recently started working & thankfully he secured his own job, even though its only part time....do you think this will count?? They were still paying him money for been unemployed.

    The fact he was an ada on you claim will count. Your means from employment as well as his will be assessed as means for his claim.
