In addition to providing information on PRSI for employers, the Department operates the Back to Work Allowance (Enterprise), which encourages unemployed people, lone parents and people getting Disability Allowance or Blind Person’s Pension to become self-employed. Participants receive support for four years along with any secondary benefits they have, subject to certain conditions.

Full details are available in the Guide to Social Welfare Services (downloadable from the Department’s website) and in leaflet SW93.
