There are 2 types of JSA
CB JSA which is paid for 26 weeks and is currently based on having paid sufficient NI contributions in the tax years 09/10 and 10/11 it ignores savings and any partners earnings
IB JSA which is paid if you do not have a working partner and have savings under £16k
For both, if you leave a job on your own free will (eg it is not the end of the contract) then you may be sanctioned for up to 26 weeks before they will pay any JSA0 -
The maximum sanction length would be the remaining duration of the contract0
