I hope someone can help me and that the answers aren't posted somewhere else. I have looked but am still unsure. My JSB entitlement is about to run out and I am unsure whether it is worth my while applying for JSA.
My husband is self-employed but takes a set wage from the business and pays income tax and PRSI EE class.
I have 3 children so am I right that the maximum I could be entitled to is E285.40 or does my husband count as a Qualifying adult even though he works?
Do I take the 60% of his weekly earnings or is it the full amount because he is self-employed?
His wage nett of PRSI and taking the E60 off, then 60% it works out a few cents over the E285.40 so if I can't include my husband as a QA or the 60% calculation, it really isn't worth my while even trying.
Thanks for any help.
