By the way OP is talking he has no intention of getting a job, 70 grand would be enough for 95% of people to retrain and find employment within six months. He would be able to buy a car for commuting, pay rent, get clothes for interviews, even do another course.

JSA is designed to help people who are struggling to find work, not be played by people trying to do the opposite.

Sorry. That wasn't my intent. I am certainly looking into things [courses, training courses, etc]

How do they find out?

Your bank tells them for a start..

I went down to working part-time so I could look after my parents. I'm going into my fifth year studying part-time. It's definitely possible and worth it to reeducate. There are also ETB courses, I've signed up for one in Kilkenny.

Thank Capt. I'm looking into courses [both university and non-university like etb] as well.

The bank without permission tells others what's in ones account?


That's pretty crazy, thought that would be a privacy breach, I've never been on SW, I've not clue about this stuff.

Eh why do you need to tell them you got it

The executor does. The executor has a legal obligation to complete a Revenue affidavit before disbursing any funds. This will include identifying information about beneficiaries (including their PPS numbers), and those beneficiaries will then be invited by Revenue to complete a CAT return.

Yes, but they have permission.

Nope, the bank has to declare for revenue purposes etc, revenue and welfare share information etc etc.

First of all there are several properties within that price range within 15 km of where I live and he would have enough left over for a small car which he could use to drive to the factory where my husband works that can’t get enough staff. You are still referring to him getting “benefitâ€. Hes not entitled to benefit because he hasn’t made enough contribution. Your suggesting that taxpayers should continue to give him €203 per week while he hoards €70000? I have a better idea. We can give his €203 to people sitting up all night tonight to care for a sick loved one and he can start using his €70000 to pay for his own rent groceries electricity bill and all his other bills, same as everyone else.

I meant allowance, not benefit. I presume he would like to continue living in the area in which he currently resides. It's difficult for people who have little work experience and may be of an older age profile to just go out and find a job tomorrow. There is this continuing myth of work being available for everybody who wants to work, in a healthy economy. At the height of the last boom - in the mid noughties - there were still one hundred thousand signing on the live register every week while the government claimed we had full employment.

As a rule everybody not working at this point is can't/wont/shouldn't work .
While there is always an exception to the rule, you could argue right now anybody in long term employment today fits that category. Hence full employment.

If he chooses to continue living where he is living and not being able to find a job for whatever reason be it his age or lack of opportunities in the area of his choice then he can continue to do that in the same manner as ever.
But now he will be financing himself in his choices, with just a little bit of help from the taxpayer.
I can’t thing of any reason at all why anyone would be allowed to sit on 70000 while collecting €203 plus HAP every week.
