End of Job and claiming JSA

MarieMc

Hi there,

Just wondering how this will pan out in the future...
I am currently working on a project which is expected to finish in a years time and then, if I fail to find another job before then, I will be unemployed.

Would I be able to apply for JSA as soon as this job finishes?
Or is it different becuase I KNEW that the job was going to end and therefore will there be a restriction of time before I can apply for JSA?

Thanks

You will be able to claim JSA as soon as your jobs finishes.

You could start finding a job before it ends though. When the job ends, you will go into the new one straight away.

It will be ok to claim JSA, you will not have resigned or been sacked but just left after the job ended.

Thanks guys.
I'll be applying long before the job ends in hope that I can get right into another job.
Cheers!
