What happens if I am aged 20-24 claiming Jobseekers Allowance and on a training course?
The full adult rate of Jobseeker’s Allowance will be paid to those who: • Participate in a full-time Youthreach course for young early school leavers or a full-time course in a Senior Traveller Training Centre; • Qualify for the Back to Education Allowance for pursuing a full-time second level course or Post Leaving Cert/VTOS course; or • Participate in a full-time FÁS training course. A person in this category will be selected for the Employment Action Plan after 53 days on the Live-Register, and directed to FAS for appropriate training, education and jobseeking interventions.
