Working Part Time+Job Seekers Allowance

gadd

I am currently on job seekers allowance but I should have the opportunity to get some part time work in the next week or so. I have looked at welfare.ie and other sites but I can't figure out for the life of me how much I would earn if I do get the job and can still collect partial job seekers allowance.

In theory I would be working 3 days a week, earning around 70 euro a day, however one of those days is likely to be a Sunday which is treated differently. Doe's anyone know how much JSA if anything I would be eligible for should I get the job?

I was also wondering how I go about sorting this out if I get the job, do I treat it as making a new claim and go through the application process all over again?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Did anyone find out what the deal is?

If you're working three days a week receiving 70 Euro a day, and one of the days is a Sunday, then you would lose 60 Euro a week from your Jobseekers Allowance claim.

If one of the days was not a Sunday, you would lose 90.
