    Hi All,

    Just wondering what options are out there for my Gf,

    She was working for 1 year paying PRSI and went back to college and is now finished her H-dip and is unemployed, I recently got a temp full time job earning 1100 every 2 weeks after being on longterm unemployment for 1.5yrs and she has been denied Job seekers. She is under 24. we are co-inhabiting. I just got my job when she put her claim in.

    Whats her next option? Jobbridge? Fas ? just need some sort of income for her during the summer? Would she get anything because of my wage?

    Any ideas would be great.

    Sounds as though she doesn't have enough stamps for JSB (think 2012 was the qualifying year), and you earn too much for JSA as you're cohabiting.

    She can try for Jobbridge, but has to be unemployed for three months before applying.

    How long is your contract for, OP?

    Just here till Sept, contract ends then. I knew my wage would be too much for it, but considering I just came off Jobbridge myself I thought when they saw our finances they would see we are broke :) Just getting back on my feet now that I have a job.

    Thanks for the quick reply "abajaninCork'

    If only she didnt say we were cohabiting !!!

    Fas (ETB) won't pay a training allowance unless your gf is already on a social welfare payment, fas just take over the payment for the duration of the course.
