Jobseekers Allowance, Rapid Reclaim...What happens?

HannahOgden

Need advice, I came off jsa in February because of a relative passing, and me and the family went and stayed down south with my grandad for a couple of weeks. So, I signed off saying I wasn't available to work at the time.

I am now wanting to sign back on, would I do this under a rapid reclaim or would it be a completely new claim? This is my first time being on jsa and this is my first reclaim.

If I do a repaid reclaim what would happens? Does it go back to the beginning like a new claim, you start signing on for 6 months and then do a course or scheme or do you go back to where you left off? I am confused because I cant find any information anywhere on what actually happens?

Oh, and how do you do a rapid reclaim?

Please help and Thank you

i signed on then went on holiday abraod. on my return had to make a new claim via reclaim - it was very quick but this period of employment is added to the one before hols , ie it does not start again.

Unless you've been signed off for more than 6 months, you go back on the system in the same place as when you left it.
