Husband started a job

He is currently getting ib jsa so is going to contact them on Monday. I will then ring tax credits to inform them. Do I need to ring place about free school meals as I assume we will no longer be entitled. This is only a temp position for a coue of months though so not sure....how can I find out?

    it isnt all primary age children. its only up to the age of 7 ( old infants school age)
  • My youngest is under 7 so will still get them but other 2 aren't. As it's a temp job our overall yearly income will still be low so wondering if we will still qualify or not

  • Thanks, I think we won't as I'm sure for these 7 weeks we will be entitled to working tax credits so therefore no free meals even though income is below the income limit
