Job Seekers - Rapid Reclaim
Anna28
Posts: 2 Newbie
I am about to go abroad for a few days, which means I will need to close my currrent job seekers claim with the job centre. I am currently at the Work Program stage, attending the job centre for over a year now.
If upon return I make a rapid reclaim, will I start from stage one again? Or will I pick up from where I left off, with the Work Program?
Anyone have any information or been in the position to shed some light?
My sister had claimed in 2010 for about a year, went abroad, came back and did a rapid reclaim. She was sent straight back to stage one. So I assumed this is what would happen with me this year??
Many thanks for replies

You continue on the work program, even though you have a break in your claim.0

You will remain on the work programme for two years from the day you started, even if you work the clock will still tick and you remain with them.0

Very dangerous words 'rapid reclaim' which I don't think people should use, it just leads to confusion.
There's no such thing as a rapid reclaim, making one or not will make no difference to you0
