    I've been getting Back to Education Allowance for last 4 years almost, I also get rent allowance, will finish college this year and last week got a call to say there is a job for me to start as soon as college is finished, signing the contract this week! The company pays at the end of the month though, so I will tell Social Welfare the date I"m due to start work but will I have no money for the first month or can Social Welfare provide anything during this time? At the moment I'm used to getting paid weekly and I'm a little worried I won't have any money for the first month, so I"m trying to find out what my options are.

    Thanks in advance

    Nothing from SW after you start work. Everyone gets paid in arrears, whether that be monthly, weekly or fortnightly.

    If you go to the CWO after your claim is closed and show them proof of your first payment date they will be able to help you until the salary comes through.
