JSA: Signed off will I go back to the beginning?

veggie4life

Hi there,

So I signed off JSA two days ago thinking I had a job. I've been let down and am just wondering what the procedure is for when I sign back on? I had been signing on for ten weeks. Will they start me at week one again in the cycle? E.g having the six week seminar after six weeks again (if in the very worst case nothing has turned up by that stage :eek:)? Or will I stay at week ten and move on from there?

Thanks for your help

You will start again unless you had been signing for 26 weeks or more,( or stage 3) signed off and signed back on within 12 weeks.

just do a 'rapid reclaim'
go talk to your advisor at JC+

Thanks for the super speedy reply!

Is this the case even after only two days?

Yes, anyone who signs off during stage 1 or 2 goes back to the beginning. Rules different at stage 3 and 4

provided you have no change in your circumstances since your last claim it is a quicker process and you won't serve waiting days. If you were on JSA C you won't be entitled to the full amount again any weeks already claimed will be counted.

Thanks for your help. Although it looks like i'll be starting from the beginning hopefully i wont be on it long enough to have the six week pep talk again!
