    Hi.

    I was made redundant in October and have been claiming the dole since then.

    I've been offered a job which will be four days per week, beginning next week.

    I have a number of questions.

    1.I won't get paid until the end of the month, so can I continue to claim benefits until then, or do I have to sign off as soon as I start work?

    2. I'm working 4 days per week so is there any way of claiming any benefit for the day I'm not working? I understand that job seekers benefit is paid for a 6 day working week.

    I don't want to claim anything to which I'm not entitled, so I'd appreciate any guidance.

    Thanks,

    Here's what you could do...

    CLOSE your dole claim, you can do that online

    Find the name of your local office in the a-z menu, ie. if your office is Athlone, look under A, ect.

    You need to sign off as soon as you have a job. Also, you can only claim jobseekers if you're working 3 days a week or less, so you won't be entitled to anything if you're working 4 days, unless you're working under 20 hours in total as far as i remember.

    1 = No. You can't continue to claim.
    2 = No. You can't claim for either day 5 or day 6.

    Congrats on the job.
