Married man on 3 day week with 3 kids

Hi...I am a married man with 3 kids and my wife has no income. I have just been put on a 3 day week.
How Much should i get from social welfare ?

Please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

. Read the keypost guide at the top of this thread.

If, in 2007, you were employed and had enough contributions to qualify you for Jobseekers Benefit in 2009, the maximum benefit for full week would be €204.30. To qualify for this you would have had to be earning over €300 per week in 2007.
The benefit is based on a 6 day week, and if you were until recently employed 5 days a week, you could qualify for €204.30 x2 /6, or €68.10.
See this page for details: http://www.welfare.ie/EN/Schemes/JobseekerSupports/JobseekersBenefit/Pages/jb.aspx#Rates3

If your wife qualifies as a dependant adult, with 3 children the maximum would be €139.30. However, it is taking months for social welfare offices to process these claims. To avoid getting into debt you should cut your spending so that you can live on your reduced income.

I am married woman one child on 3 day week, usually work 5 days, and I get EUR81.60 per week. It took about four weeks to get my first cheque in the post. HTH
