Social Welfare

Post by rachel29 » Tue Sep 27, 2011 3:41 pm

Hi,

I am hoping of some information from someone who knows about social welfare in Republic of Ireland. If me and my husband are not working in ireland and were able to claim jobseekers/social welfare how much would we get a week as a couple with any deductions such as tax etc?

Can I also make it clear that I am not inteding to claim benefit it is for an immigration case I need to be aware of the amount a couple would get as I have ben told to show we have more than that amount avaliable.

I think around 140 a week is jobseeker's benefit 180 is allowance (means tested etc). askaboutmoney is where you find info regarding welfare etc. this board is for immigration purposes only. as far as immigration is concerned it will go against you regarding citizenship/ltr/wcatt if you to apply. But again INIS take it on case by case basis.

Hi am not actually wanting to claim welfare at all but have been told that to qualify as sufficent funds that we have to have at least the amount that people on social welfare would get a week, this is why I am wondering how much this is incase at some point they come back and say no you are not get enough money .
