Presumably you are on an annual contract with monthly pay - then the tax credits should work out your award for the year and pay it every four weeks.

can somebody help me, i work as a cleaner, at a college, 18 hours a week, i only work term time, i dont work 22 weeks of the year and dont get paid when i am off work, can i claim jobseekers allowance when i am not working, thanks for any help

If you will be actively seeking and available for work during the periods you intend to claim JSA, you can submit a claim. Whether you will qualify depends on more than that. for example, for contributory based JSA you would have to have paid sufficient class 1 NI contributions in the qualifying years currently 2007/2008 and 2008/2009.

 

for income based JSA, this will depend upon your total household income (such as if you live with a partner for example), and savings.

 

There isn't enough information in your post to provide you with a comprehensive answer. If you would like to do a calculation of what benefits you may be entitled to, try here or here

Why have you started a new thread on this? I have asked the Mods to merge your threads together as you already have a partial answer from Erika.

[bolton69]

sorry i was just giving more informasion cheers

I would have thought that you would be able to apply for the times you are not working and sign off when term time begins but now not so sure. Unison took the case for 2 special needs assistants to the House of Lords who ruled that under the current legislation they were unable to claim JSA so you may not be entitled at all.

 

I would speak to a welfare right advisor or the CAB for more help on this.

 

Don't worry too much about the thread. Having 2 threads just means it gets a bit complicated and advice given can be wrong if the person posting has not read all the posts in both threads. The Mods should merge them for you making it easier.
