Jsa

Hello My husband has made a claim for Jsa.

He did it all online on the 5th of January and he had his interview last Wednesday it was a rapid reclaim . He got a letter saying he is entitled to jobseekers allowance and how much he will get per weekly and the bank he wants it to be paid into.

The person at the jobcentre when he went for his first interview told him he would be paid for a week because he put his claim in on the 5th sometime this week ?? Does this sound right ??

he will sign on Monday .

    I would call the benefit delivery centre, They would be able to give you more accurate information on the status of the claim and any payments due.

    Although signing on a wednesday you get paid Monday normaly, Saturday depending what bank your with.
