    Retention of medical card and Rent Supplement
    Medical card
    If you are unemployed and you are returning to full-time or part-time work, you can keep your medical card for 3 years provided you have been getting one of the following allowances or benefits for 12 months or more:

    Jobseeker's Benefit
    Jobseeker's Allowance
    One-Parent Family Payment
    Illness Benefit
    Disability Allowance
    Blind Pension or
    Have been on an employment incentive scheme or educational opportunity scheme
    If you take up full-time employment you will retain your medical card for 3 years from the date you start work. If you take up part-time employment the three-year period starts from the date your income exceeds the relevant medical card guideline. There are further details about the retention of medical cards in the Health Service Executive's Medical Card/GP Visit National Assessment Guidelines (pdf).
