    well if you get something on paper from the employer stating that the job is only for this time and show it to the SW they may just suspend and not cancel but the only way to find out is call to your office.

    If you qualify for JSB you will get the €188 rate. You cannot have your current claim payment suspended for the duration of your job. Your current claim will be closed.

    From excerpt below you will see that you would be reinstated to the full 188.00 if you were to get a job and lose it before 12 months were up. You should check with SW if this applies to a situation where you know that it is only for 9 months.
    Exceptions to age related Jobseeker's Allowance payments for people under 25

    The reduced age related personal and qualified adult rates of Jobseeker’s Allowance for claimants under 25 years of age do not apply in the following cases:

    Claimants with dependent children
    People transferring to Jobseeker’s Allowance immediately after finishing their entitlement to Jobseeker’s Benefit
    People transferring from Disability Allowance to Jobseeker’s Allowance
    Where an existing Jobseeker’s Allowance claimant is assessed at the higher rate of allowance gets work but loses that job and is back on Jobseeker’s Allowance within 12 months People under 25 participating in a course of education, training or Community Employment. However, when the course ends you will return to an age related JA payment, if you were getting one before you started the course.
    You were at least 20 years of age on 30 December 2009 and became unemployed on or before 30 December 2009
    You were 18 or 19 on 30 December 2009 and you became unemployed on or before 29 April 2009
    You are 22 to 24 and taking part in the Work Placement Programme run by FÁS    http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfare_payments/unemployed_people/jobseekers_allowance.html
