Summary
Q I am currently receiving job-seeker's benefit on the basis of a part-time job I had after selling my business and I am getting an allowance for my wife. I have some savings and pay DIRT at source. Am I liable for the Universal Social Charge on that? Also, my wife will be 65 next year. Will she be able to draw the State pension? A The Universal Social Charge does not apply to job-seeker's benefit or to DIRT. Your wife's entitlement to a contributory pension will depend on meeting the PRSI contribution requirements. She should contact the Department Of Social and Family Affairs Pension Services Office on College Road in Sligo - LoCall 1890 500 000.
If she doesn't qualify for a contributory pension, she might qualify for a non-contributory pension but that depends on satisfying a means test and your savings would be taken into account.See the full content of this document
