JSB to 6 Month Contract to JSB

    Been on JSB almost 6 months now, after applying for a job which is full-time for 6 months and possibly longer if further work comes up.

    Just wondering if I did get it (say starting June 1st) and in 6 months (Nov/Dec) become unemployed again, just slightly going over the 26 weeks PRSI contributions thereby making a new claim, would that mean that I would effectively be starting a new 12months of JSB again?

    AFAIK but am open to correction, once you have at least 13 weeks contributions paid again then you are eligible to apply again.

    I think that 13 weeks is if you were in systematic short time, then went off JSB, then had to go back on again or something.

    Under the rates section it says:
    "if you are unemployed for a second time within 26 weeks of your last JB payment your application for Jobseeker's Benefit is not treated as a new claim and you do not have another 3 days of non-payment."

    May not even get the job so mightn't be an issue but just checking out what the situation might be anyway.
