I wish to advise the Deputy that those participants who commenced Community Employment (CE) prior to Monday 16th January 2012 and who have continuous service on CE since that date (no single break in excess of 12 months), may retain their primary social welfare payment (subject to continued eligibility for receipt of same) alongside their CE personal rate allowance beyond December 2014, which was the previous cut-off date. This will now continue until they finish their time on CE.

The participants concerned have been informed of this via their Sponsor.

As outlined to the Deputy in reply to question, 36403-14, on 25th September 2014 and question 43633-14, on 13th November 2014, there is no record of an application for a one-parent family payment in respect of the person concerned. If she wishes to make a one-parent family payment application, she should contact her local Intreo (Social Welfare) office.
