Hi
I have a question on how often reviews of circumstances happen in relation to medical cards.
Take a married couple both in full time employment in the public sector. They have 1 child and a mortgage.
The woman takes extended maternity leave and also 1 years career break from her job and is due to return to full time employment in september. She has been unpaid for the last year but has been living off her husbands income which is substantial.
She recently applied for a medical card and got it. This also entitles her to reduced childcare costs.
Can she avail of the medical card entitlements while back in full time employment? Or how often does a review of circumstances take place? If its every 2 years, then this couple can avail of the medical card benefits while both in full time employment for the next 2 years?
If this is the case then is it any wonder this country has gone to the dogs.
