Congress 44 Insurance Payments: If your circumstances allow you to work while on an insurance payment, usually the money you earn will not affect your payment. This is not the case with Jobseeker’s Benefit (JB). For each day you work while claiming JB you will lose the ‘daily rate’ of payment. # Many social insurance payments are considered taxable income. It is important that the Revenue Commissioners are aware of your circumstances. Employment Supports Family Income Supplement (FIS): Employment conditions and means testing apply. This is an income support paid to people who have children and are in employment. Back to Work Allowance: This programme allows people who have been on social welfare payments for a long period of time to return to employment or self-employment and keep some of their social welfare payments. Back to Education Programme: This programme allows people who have been on social welfare payments for a long period of time to return to education or training and keep their social welfare payments.
Social Welfare Guide Job Facilitators: These are social welfare staff based in local social welfare offices. They help to advise you of back to education/work options. 45 You must always notify the Department of Social and Family Affairs of any change in your circumstances.
