Hi my husband and i are both on social welfare out money is together as we are married in myhusbanda name however I have been offered a full time job with a salary of €19,000 a year and we are living in a council house paying €40 a week! Will our rent go up loads and will my husband be entitled to still get some money off social welfare if I take the job??

You will need to ask your local council about your rent,If your husband is on a means tested payment he may get a reduced payment.

I think his money should be ok (maybe a reduction ) but you will lose your benefits.....not sure about rent

Assuming its just you and your husband and he is currently receiving €312.80 I am assuming €19000 is gross per year and that you will work 3 days per week or more. The minimum he will receive on jsa is €129.80 as I have not factored in prsi deductions from your earnings.

I cannot answer your rent question.

Look at your Council's website for differential rent. It shows how increased income will translate into rent payable.

But do take the job!

Do you have children? You might qualify for FIS.
