Contribution based JSA tax year question

Hi,

Please can somebody tell me a little about contribution based JSA and the tax years used for assessment?

I need to know how many months in tax years 08/09 and 09/10 i need to have worked and paid class 1 NI contributions in order to be eligible to claim the JSA now?

I ask this as i had a gap of 4 months in the 08/09 tax year.


TIA

:)
