SMP finishing

Options
Dear all,

Quick question. My wife finishes materinity leave next month. She is on SMP and was made redundant on the first day of her maternity leave. She wants to work part time and will be actively seeking work. We have no child care issues. Is she entitled to JSA?

  • If actively seeking work then yes but if you work and earn to much then she can`t get Income based JSA.

    If she has paid NI for about the last 2 years then try for CB JSA.

    Good Luck
