Someone has told me they would be better off on the dole.
Couple, one working and other at home minding 3 children. Earnings are 2800 a month. Commuting an hour to work.
According to them they'd be entitled to:
Social Welfare
188+29+29+29+124 = 399
2. Rent allowance
Max rent of 550, less personal contribution of 60 Euro (not sure of their contribution)
3. Medical card
4. Child allowance
________________________________________________________________
1. Current income
Monthly 2800 x 12 = 33600 / 52 = 646 weekly
2. Child allowance
____________________________________________________________________________
Calculation of difference
Dole
550 + 399 - 60 = 889
Salary: 646
A difference of 243 weekly, plus medical card. On paper it makes sense. Plus commuting costs are 200 a month.
Are these figures correct, are there any other allowances, like for gas or whatever.
