Higher earners could receive larger welfare payments if they lose their job under fresh proposals due to go to Cabinet before Christmas.
Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys has been given a series of options by officials around how to link welfare payments to previous income, and she now plans to bring a memo outlining the proposed changes by either the end of this month or the start of December.
