Class 1 National Insurance Contribution

[geeza2012]

Hi I am writing this because I need some help and guidance for my next move.

 

I was in a job for 10years and now am unemployed as I had to resign so that I would not be dismissed from my job and have a bad record when an employer ask for a reference.

 

I am now if I am right by next week into my 13th week of signing on and receiving JAS starting on the end of February.

So I have a personal advisor to see next week around 22nd to 24th May 2012.

 

The rates I am getting from February are £67.50 a week

From April 2012 it was £71.00 a week.

I am paid Class 1 National Insurance Contribution which runs out on 15th Aug 2012.

 

I really have no idea how they worked this out can anyone shed some light on this for me please and in a very very simple way????

JSA (contribution) based depends on the NI contributions made in the 2 years prior to claiming, you then move on to JSA income based which is means tested

well i think its about £5000 for 2 years thats i payed my I.N

As I understand it, after 13 weeks you are interviewed to confirm that you are actively seeking employment and the advisor will assist you in finding a job.

You got the JSA contribution based as you were probably paid at or above the lower earnings limit for NI but that does change to JSA income based which is means tested.

After twenty six weeks JSA conts if you have no other Income or Partner you should go onto JSA Income Based, which will be the same amount as you are on now.

You should hopefully stay on this untill you find a job.....

contribution based JSA is only payable for a maximum period of 182 calender days, after that you would need to complete form JSA3 to assess any entitlement to income based JSA which is based on your family/household income and possible savings.
