    My working week was reduced to 3 days a while ago and I get Jobseeker’s Benefit (JB) for the days that I don’t work. I have been informed that the JB payment is due to end shortly. Can I re-qualify for this payment after working a 3-day week (THE SAME PATTERN for the next 13 weeks)
    WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS TO REQUALIFY FOR JOBSEEKERS BENEFIT. I WOULD PREFER TO GET JOBSEEKERS BENEFIT . WHAT ARE MU OPTIONS? THANKS

    You need to suffer and loss of employment and loss of income in order to qualify for JSB.
    When you were full-time and cut back to 3 days, you suffered this loss.
    You probably have enough stamps to re-qualify now but you'd need to be put on a 2 day week.

    JSA does not have the same condition.
