    I have recently been put on Jobseekers Benefit which will enable me to go to the UK to look for work and still claim my benefit for up to 14th weeks.

    I was wondering if anyone had done this before, how does it work once I get to the UK? Do I have to sign on every week or month? Will the money go into my bank account or do I have to collect it?

    Thanks

    This is from the citizens information website:
    Jobseeker's Benefit (JB) may be transferred to another EEA member state for up to 13 weeks (78 days), if you are looking for work there. You must be getting Jobseeker's Benefit for 4 weeks before you can transfer it to another EEA member state. From 1 May 2010 new EU Regulations came into effect (pdf) which mean that if you apply to transfer your Jobseeker's Benefit, it will be paid directly to you. You are still required to register with the employment services of the country where you have gone to look for work within a week. You must take form Form U2 (which is replacing Form E303) to the social services of the country you are travelling to. You can get a completed Form U2 from your local social welfare office.
    You may transfer your JB payment more than once while you are unemployed provided you do not exceed the maximum period of 13 weeks.
