Description

The Social Welfare (Consolidated Supplementary Welfare Allowance) (Amendment) (No. 3) (Assessment of Means) Regulations 2018 (S.I. No. 307/2018) adjusts the way means are assessed for the Supplementary Welfare Allowance scheme. It includes the cash value of meals, accommodation, and related services provided by the Department of Justice and Equality for refugees, those with subsidiary protection, and UN resettlement programme arrivals. This ensures that non-cash benefits are considered when assessing eligibility for social welfare​.
