Social participation
The social participation scheme involves compensation for social, educational, sports or cultural activities. The purpose of this scheme is to enable the social participation of individuals and families with an income at minimum level or just above (120% of the applicant's applicable assistance standard). The scheme applies to residents aged 2 to 18 and those aged 65 and over. Residents aged 18 to 65 are eligible if they are not receiving benefits under the Student Finance Act. Thus, the scheme does not apply to students aged 18 and over. In addition to an income limit, an asset limit also applies to this scheme.
Contribution
The contribution is €150 per year per family member from the target group.
