Coming off JobSeekers Allowance

Baldoyle

Hi all,

Got a question about coming off Job Seekers Allowance. Tried calling the Social Welfare office several times today but no one is answering. Before I head down to the office tomorrow want to ask a question on the board incase someone else has already had this issue.....

I have accepted a job offer and starting work next Tuesday now I need to stop my JSA payments, from what I have read on the boards it seems you just stop picking up your money and thats all you need to do, is this correct?

Another question is I usually pick up my JSA payments on Tuesdays, next Tuesday I will be in work, can I head into my Post Office on Monday to get my last payment (this payment should be one day less than usual because I start working the next day). So just wondering how people pickup their last JSA payment it you are starting a new job during that week - hope that makes sense.

Thanks all

Incase anyone else is in the same situation, there is an online form for this:

After filling in the form it says your last payment will be sent by cheque to your address.
