Jobseeker's Allowance JSA is a benefit for people who are not in full time employment work less than 16 hours per week , are capable of working and are looking for work. Claim online by going to the Gov. You must give your national insurance number and evidence of who you are, for example, a driving licence or birth certificate. You normally also have to give your partner's national insurance number if they live with you. You also have to give evidence of your income and savings, for example, bank statements or pay slips.
These are called waiting days. Exceptions apply. A claim for Jobseeker's Allowance can be backdated for up to three months before the date of the claim if you would have been entitled to it earlier. If you are an existing tax credit claimant, this does not mean you will be automatically eligible to receive Universal Credit.
If you submit a Universal Credit claim your tax credit award will be closed immediately, even if you are not eligible to claim Universal Credit. There are some differences between the eligibility criteria for Universal Credit and tax credits, including but not limited to your savings and residency status.
If you currently receive tax credits, please check the eligibility criteria for Universal Credit before you submit a Universal Credit claim. If your tax credit award has not ended, you will need to decide whether remaining on tax credits or claiming Universal Credit is better for you, based on your own personal circumstances. You can use a benefits calculator to check your possible entitlement.
However, your earnings and any payment you are getting from a pension can affect the amount you may receive. New-Style JSA can be paid for a maximum of days. If you are also receiving Universal Credit then your Universal Credit payments will continue as long as your other circumstances have not changed.
If you are not receiving Universal Credit, you can check your eligibility for Universal Credit to see if you could receive it. If your partner works, it does not affect your claim. Most income is not taken into account, but a personal pension can affect the amount you may receive.
If you are pregnant or have recently had a baby, you may be entitled to other financial support. To get it you must have received health advice from a certified health professional and be claiming certain benefits or tax credits.
Read more about eligibility for SSMG. SSMG claims can be made 11 weeks before the child is due or up to 6 months after the child is born. Keep to your agreement to look for work. Your JSA payments will be stopped if you do not keep to your agreement to look for work and cannot give a good reason. Use a benefits calculator to check how much JSA you can get, and how your other benefits will be affected. All benefits, pensions and allowances are usually paid into your bank, building society or credit union account.
You may have to wait up to 7 days after applying for your JSA to start, and up to 2 weeks after that to get your first payment. You do not need to pay this money back, and it will not affect the amount of Universal Credit you get. Check what you need to do. To help us improve GOV. It will take only 2 minutes to fill in.
