Jsa

Hi my son has finished college and my last child benefit payment is next week, can anyone tell me when is he able to apply online for jsa whilst he's looking for work. I've told him to apply Tuesday next week but don't know if this is right. Does anyone know?

    If college has finished then I believe he can apply now. I'm sure a young person I worked with did the same last year
    An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......

    I understand CB is paid until 31st August in these circumstances so he should claim UC (not JSA) from next Friday online.

    Why UC and not JSA? If my last payment is next Tuesday can he not apply then as it will take a few days for the job centre to get in touch with him and arrange an interview?
