JSB to JSA

A similar question was already asked if you check other threads 🤔 JSB once awarded and on a specific rate doesn't just reduce , clearly her entitlement has ended (its paid for a specific period of time) and she has to now apply for JSA which unlike JSB is means tested & your income will be assessed. Your shares value & pension won't be an issue , just your income. I'd not withhold any information. My guess is your wife will only be awarded a small JSA payment or possibly none, based on your income but if you have dependent children etc this is taken into consideration. Regardless it is important to apply.

Your means are €552 less PRSI. Your means exceeds your entitlement by almost €200. But she should apply anyway.

It’s different for different applicants depending on circumstances.

What were your means when your JSB ran out?

Yeah you had enough PRSI. Looks as if this lady hasn’t worked since early 2020 so she won’t reqaulify for JSB.

They have renewed his entitlement to JSB this time. He’ll get it for a short amount of time.

Then they’ll say that he has “ no longer suffered a loss of employment”. That he has accepted that 3 days a week is his normal working week.

Then they will either assess him for JSA (“suffered a loss of employment” only applies to Benefit, not allowance) or if he can’t prove he’s been looking for full time work, even possibly disqualify him.

Whichever outcome, this is definitely his last stint on JSB unless he can find 13 weeks work somewhere.

Sorry Dempo. I was just chatting in general about JSB running out.

I just happen to know that you can only be suffering a loss of employment for a certain length of time before they decide that your done with benefit.

Did you enquire about a CE scheme?
