How many hours a week can I work and continue to collect Jobseekers?

L.A.D · 2013-11-26 08:04:27

I'm 29 and claiming the full 188 at the moment, and have been offered a couple of positions, one of which is a 25-30 hour week. The other is a 40 hour contract. I was planning on claiming Rent Allowance soon but would either of these jobs jeopardize my Jobseekers or Potential rent allowance? Cheers

Have you checked the welfare.ie website?
Oh? What does it state?

If you work three days or less per week, you can collect casual Jobseekers, at a reduced rate.

You should really look at www.welfare.ie to calculate what you'd get.
