Hello

My Jobseekers benefit will be up in a month or so and I will be means tested for Jobseekers allowance. My Husband is working here in Cork and we have no children.

I know that the social welfare office takes husbands salary into account along with savings. Can anyone help me with the breakdown of savings along with husbands earnings of approx. €25,000p.a. Savings approx €50,000



Any information appreciated for peace of mind!
 
Check out the keypost, and the means test link therein, at top of this forum; first 20k of savings not assessed.
 
If you husband brings home more than €400 a week you will not qualify for Job Seekers Allowance.
 
Does anyone know how it is calculated from husbands wages. Savings can be worked out easily enough but it is the husbands wages that there seems to be no system in place to be able to calculate it.
