Looking for some info about JSB

DennyPa

I was told last week that I will be let go at the end of the month but will havean on-demand contract so if things pick up I could get a day or two a week. Ihave started to look for work in themean time but not looking good at the moment but hopefully something will come up before then.

I am wondering what I would beentitled too. I looked up on wefare.ie and a few other websites but hard tofind any info. I would be looking for a rough idea so we can plan financiallyfor the next few months if we have to.

My wife is working and she takes home around €400 weekly. We have 1child and I have another daughter from a previous relationship who lives up thecountry.

Thanks

If you have an entitlement to jobseekers benefit you will receive €188 pw. You will not receive a payment for your spouse or child who lives with you as your spouses earnings are >€300 pw. If you work 2-3 days per week on a regular basis then sw will switch your claim to a casual category. If the days worked are sporadic then you can let sw know after the fact and they can deduct the day from your next payment. If you work 3 days pw you will receive half of €188 payment.

Not necessarily

If the wages of the OP were less than 300 per week then he would get a lower rate

No you would receive 75.20

20% of 188 is taken off for each of the 3 days

The rates are here

Mango, could I ask you more about this? My wages were not less that 300 per week so this wouldn't apply to me I presume?

It's based on what your wages were in the contribution year 2011
