Part-time work and affect on OPFP

[PaddyW]

Hi, hoping for some advice please.

My friend has recently completed an internship with a youth service and they have now asked her to be on their relief panel, so she will get work from time to time, but nothing constant.
She is currently on OPFP and I would like to know on her behalf, what affect this will have on her payment. Does she sign off on the days she does have work and submit time sheets to social welfare, or what way is it handled?

Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Her one-parent family payment will be means-tested and may be reduced based on her income.

There is no requirement to sign on when claiming OPFP.

She should visit her nearest SW office for more information on what she needs to bring for the means test.
