Rates :

The minimum weekly payment for new participants based on 19.5 hours worked is €220.50 with effect from 26 March 2018.

If the actual social welfare payment (including dependants) you were getting was €198 a week or less, then you will get the minimum CE weekly rate of €220.50 (that is €198 plus €22.50).

If your actual weekly social welfare payment (including dependants) was €198.01 or more, then you will get the same rate as your social welfare payment plus €22.50.

Additional income: If you have any additional income, for example, from part-time work, it will not affect your CE payment. However, the rules on change of circumstances that apply to your original social welfare payment also apply to your CE payment. For example, if your qualified adult gets a job, their income will be assessed as means and your CE payment may be reduced. However, your CE payment cannot be reduced below the current minimum rate of €220.50
