Left School in June , Starting Job Now

jonski

Hi ,

My daughter did her leaving cert this year and basically took the summer off waiting for her results and hopefully a college offer , unfortunately she did not get what she wanted in so she started looking for work and planning on college next year .

During September she went into the Social Welfare office and applied for Job seekers allowance , she had to wait a certain amount of time after her last day in school , 3 months , and then apply and give them the usual information . Now she is waiting for any payments she is entitled to to come through . Friday she was offered a job and , obviously , took it .

And so to the question , Would her job seekers allowance be back dated to June when she got it ? and now that she has taken a Job before it has been paid , would she still be entitled to it ?

Thanks

John

Why would her JSA be back dated to june ? if she went in during sept thats when it will be back dated to,

Did she have her means test and was she told how much she would of been entitled to per week ? it will depend on her circumstances to find out what shes entitled to.

Well she went in in June , but was told that she had to wait until 3 months after her last day at school before she could apply .

she will only be entitled to it from 3 months on, so from middle of sept till she started work.
