Hi, if you both have to meet the jobseekers agreement you both have to sign on however if one of you will be caring for young children etc you will not.0

no young children0

If you are both available for work, and are actively seeking work then both signing-on is correct.
If one of you does not meet this criteria then that person would not sign on. I mentioned children but there are other reasons e.g. signed off sick, claiming CA, f/t student etc.
Good luck with the job hunting0 -
thanks, do you know if one or both of us could get tax credits if we found a part time jobs0

If you are over 25 then WTC is applicable if one (or both of you) is working 30 hours a week.
