trish77

Hello all would appreciate some advice my case worker has put me forward for 3 CE Schemes I picked them myself I'm only on €19.40 jobseekers per week she told me I would be getting €208 from CE Scheme is this true even with my jobseekers being so low I have to children and really could do with the extra money, thanks trish Xx

If you have children do you not get the full rate or is it means tested?

I am moving this thread to state benefits as I think they might be able to help better.

The information you got was correct CE participants get minium payment of €208. Here is the link to Citizens information that should explain it all:

You will also retain all existing benefits you are getting such as medical cards etc. Any training you wish to do will also be provided if at all possible.
