Welfare to Work is an online training programme, held over four half-days, designed to provide relevant information to those working in direct contact with unemployed people returning to the workplace. Looking at the issues and options involved in making the transition from welfare to work, this course is primarily intended for those working in a frontline capacity assisting unemployed people to return to work. Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of the social welfare system. Topics covered include welfare payments when working, labour market integration programmes, training and education options, taxation and effects on secondary benefits and medical cards.
As part of this training, we outline how to access social welfare payments and who can access what payments. We discuss and explain the use of Social Welfare Acts, Regulations, Statutory Instruments, and internal Departmental Guidelines. Means testing of the different categories of Social Welfare payments is explained in detail with many practical examples and case studies. The module will also inform participants how returning to work will affect their client’s social welfare payments.
