Advise needed on claiming the dole

chalupa

Hi all,
My job at the end of August after being working with the company for 18months. Im then going to Australia end of September. My question is should I sign on the dole for these four weeks. If I come back from Australia in a years time and it takes me a few months to get work will I be eligable to sign on again.

Im worried that if I claim the dole now for 4 weeks that when I come back from Australia in a year I wont have the dole to fall back on if it takes me a few months to find a job.

Anyone with any advice.

Thanks

your better off posting in state benefits
but yes you should apply for JSB although you will probably have gone to Oz by the time it comes through
not sure about apply once you get back there are some rules regarding habitual residence that apply but move your post and you'll get more help
