How to use this GuideSince its enactment in 2005, the Social Welfare Consolidation Act has been extensivelyamended by subsequent Social Welfare Acts, as well a number of other non-Social WelfareActs and Orders. The aim of this Guide is to bring all of these amendments together into asingle document.While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this Guide, it may nevertheless,contain errors in the text as well as in the formatting of the text. Users of this Guide aretherefore advised to satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the text by also consulting the2005 Consolidation Act and relevant amending Acts.Format of different Amendments contained in this GuideAmendments to the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 can be made in a number ofways, for example –-by deleting existing provisions (in whole or in part),-by repealing provisions,-by substituting new provisions for existing provisions, or-by inserting new provisions into the Act. Where a whole chapter, section, subsection, paragraph, sub-paragraph etc. has beenrepealed or deleted, the original text of the provision is “struck out”, e.g. This section hasbeen repealed. A footnote follows at the end of the provision that has been struck out toindicate the section in the relevant Act that repealed or deleted this provision (see, forexample, Part 4A – Early Childcare Supplement). Where part of a provision is deleted, the relevant text is “struck out” and footnoted (see,for example, section 64(8)). Where a whole provision has been substituted, the original text is “struck out” andfootnoted. The new “substituted” text is included in normal print and footnoted (see, forexample, section 3(10)). Where part of a provision has been substituted, the original textis “struck out” and, for ease of reference, the new “substituted” text is highlighted in boldand italics and footnoted (see, for example, section 34). Where a new chapter, section, subsection, paragraph, sub-paragraph etc. has been insertedinto the Consolidation Act it will be included in normal print and footnoted (see, forexample, section 247B). Where a new phrase has been inserted into an existingprovision, the new inserted text will be highlighted in bold and italics and footnoted (see,for example, section 129(1)).Amendments that have still to be commencedA number of provisions of amending Acts have not yet been commenced and ARE NOTPART of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act until commenced. For reference, where thereis an amendment that has still to be commenced, a footnote in red is included in theappropriate location in the text of the Document and the footnote at the end of the page will

include a link to the relevant amending Act (see, for example, Chapter 5A of Part 3 of theSocial Welfare Consolidation Act 2005).Payment SchedulesThe current rates of social insurance benefits and social assistance payments are set out inSchedules 2 and 4, respectively. Due to space constraints, only the latest rates of payment areset out in these Schedules, with footnotes indicating where these rates were previouslyamended.Changes in Scheme NamesThe Social Welfare Law Reform and Pensions Act 2006 (section 4 and Schedule 1) changedthe names of a number of social welfare payments, as follows – State pension (contributory) from old age (contributory) State pension (transition) from retirement pension Illness benefit from disability benefit Jobseeker’s benefit from unemployment benefit Jobseeker’s allowance from unemployment assistance Incapacity supplement from unemployability supplement Guardian’s payment (contributory) from orphan’s (contributory) allowance Guardian’s payment (non-contributory) to orphan’s (non-contributory) allowanceBecause of the extensive nature of these changes, these amendments have not been separatelyfootnoted in the Document. All references to the new scheme names are marked in bold anditalics throughout the text.
