    Hi all, I am trying to find out for definite how much I will be entitled to claim on job seekers benefit whilst working a 3 day week (down from 6 day week) I have looked back through the previous threads and cant find any concrete answer. I have been in full time employment for the last few years so am fully paid up in stamps etc.

    Cheers in advance.

    196.00 divided by 6 days = €32.66

    Day Rate (€32.66) x 3 days = €97.98

    Thats if your on Jobseekers Benefit.

    If your on Jobseekers Allowence then they take means into account.

    Also if you are eventually let go and you are now claiming for say, 3 days or 2 days, these contributions will be taken into account when you are fully unemployed, as in, you will only get full JSB for a short period. Many people, like myself!!!, thought that they could claim JSB for the now reduced 9 months. True, if you have never claimed before.
