JSA Allowance - Signing day falls on a Bank Holiday Monday

[volvo]

Hi

What happens if your usual signing on day (Monday) for JobSeekers Allowance falls on a Bank Holiday monday ie; Monday 26th May 2008.

1. Do they just credit you as having signed and wait until your next signing on day in a fortnights time for you to sign.
2. Do they get you to sign on the next working day, say Tuesday 27th May.
3. Do they get you to sign on the day before, say Friday 23rd May 2008.

Many Thanks

VOLVO

Telephone then as soon as is practical (local number on the back of your booklet) to rearrange you’re signing time.
Providing you do this you won’t loose any entitlements even if it’s after the date of signing.
Failure to let them know may do, it’s yours not their responsibility.

Hi Volvo
My son did not realise it was a bank holiday last easter (Good Friday) He went to sign on and it was shut. He went on the following Tuesday and was told he wouldn't be getting any money as he should of gone the day before his normal day. So he lost two weeks entitlement.

Lucky for him we still put a roof over his head and food in his stomach but what happens if he was relying on his benefits to put money into his electric meter or food?

If your usual signing day falls on a Bank Holiday then you don't need to do anything.

You will be excused signing for that day and your payment will be automatically advanced in order that receive it on time.

Not in my area.

We have to sign on the Tuesday. The BA should inform you of any arrangements.
