The person concerned has completed 4 years on Community Employment. He will be eligible to participate on Community Employment when he reaches 55 years of age subject to him meeting the criteria as set out for Community Employment. From 16 January 2012, new participants on Community Employments are not eligible to simultaneously claim another social welfare payment while on Community Employment. At current rates the person concerned would receive â¬208 per week if he recommences on Community Employment after his 55th birthday.
