Hi all

OH qualified for JSA from 18th March of £64.30 per week
So far he received a payment for £86.43 on the 3rd April
No idea what dates that payment relates to so not sure when he will next get one ?

He's not here hes gone up north looking for work and I can't ring because it's in his name
Anyone know

Worked out that daily rate for JSA is £9.16
So that means he got 9.43 days worth ?
Anyone else had odd amounts im confused


Thanks

    My 1st payment was an odd amount but then you get paid every 2 week - about 2-3 days after you sign on. If your OH is due to sign on next Monday, he will get another payment on wed/thurs after he has signed on.

    The JSA would have been paid from 210309 (first 3 days are not paid as are classed as 'waiting days').
    The weekly amount is 60.50 prior to the April increase.
    60.50 divided by 7 multiplied by 10 (10 days from 210309 to 300309) = 86.43.

    The next payment would normally have been issued when your OH next signed on which I assume would have been 130409. As 130409 was a Bank Holiday I assume he was 'excused' signing, so a full 2 weeks money would have been issued in advance and I assume he has already received it?

    Hope this helps

    Update

    Finally got through after 22 mins on hold
    Was told that local job centre had failed to upload signing on details (signing on day was a bank holiday)
    Hence no payment
    Lady is going to try & get a payment made into account today

    Can't believe that a bank holiday is not built into the system better
    We have had nothing since 3rd April

    you should have requested a counter payment because even if they do a bank payment today you wont recive it into your account until wed/thurs
