JSA payment period

sartuky

When you sign-on, when are you signing-on & paid up to ?

You receive JSA payment about 3 days later.

At sign-on, are you signing-on & paid up to the day/week you sign-on, the day/week before you sign-on ?

What period does that sign-on & payment cover ?

The day you sign every fortnight is determined by the last 2 numbers of your National Insurance number, so if it ends with 00-19 its a Monday; 20-39 Tuesday and so on. Then you are paid a fortnight in arrears up to the day you are due to sign. The payment is processed and sent overnight to your bank account and will credit 3 bank working days later; so sign on Monday, paid up to the monday and received in the bank on Thursday. If you sign on Weds you get it the following Monday. If you sign late you get paid late also.

If you with a nice bank like mine then signing in on Wednesday means the payment is cleared on Saturday.

When you sign on you are signing on until that day. Not sure what happens if you get some casual day work later that day and paid same day I imagine you declare it the following fortnight and they'll adjust the payment then.

If you know what you will be paid, it's declared at the signing on the day; if you don't know, I'd ask for the form to be returned the next day and the payment would be sent then. Yes you'd get the JSA a day late, but you will have had wages, so swings and roundabouts

How do those numbers correspond to the days then ?

They changed my signing day few weeks ago, said everyone is being changed to system where their signing day is related to their NI number, so everyone with same number signs same day.
