Hello!
I am in full time employment. Are married with three children. My wife doesn't work looks after kids. I am getting FIS. Recently got pay cut. Now we are struggling to meet ends.
Are we entitled to any social welfare supplements?

Thank you,
 
FIS is the only Social Welfare supplement payable to persons in full-time employment. You could check with FIS if you're entitled to more now that your wages have been reduced perhaps?
 
But maybe my wife is entitled for anything.
She's never been in full time employment, though...
 
Your wife would have no entitlement to Jobseeker's Payment if she is not available for and looking for full-time work. She would also be means-tested based on your income so might not qualify even if she were available for and looking for work.
