advice caliming jsa now have new job starting

vickyfitz_2

my husband claims jsa for him, me and our 2 children but i have just got new job that starts next monday is there any help we can get other than working and child tax , i think i can claim for clothing as i havent worked in 5 yrs but my husband doesnt have a job yet and my income will only be £14000 so is there any extra help , can he still claim jsa just for him as he is still seeking work.

thanks for reading any advice would be greatly appreciated

If your husband has been claiming for over 6 months you will be entitled to a jobgrant of £250 and if you receive housing and council tax benefit this will continue for 4 weeks after you start work. Call your jobcentre and ask for a new deal for partners interview.

Your husband is unlikely to continue receiving JSA but can still sign on for his NI credits.
