    Evening,

    Just finished 4 years of college last week and I'm wondering do I qualify for JSA? I'm 22 (23 in August) and living at home.

    While I'm activley looking for a job, I dont know when I'll get one.

    What do I need to claim JSA and where do I do it?

    Thanks

    You go to your local sw office (download UP1 form from this link and have it filled out http://www.welfare.ie/EN/Pages/jajbapplications.aspx) bring passport and drivers licence with you or passport and long version of birth cert... proof of address... a bill in your name or a recent utility bill in your parents name with a letter from them stating you are residing there... a letter from the college stating the date you finished. You will be issued with a UP1b form which is the application for means testing as jsa is a means tested payment and as you are <25 years of age any earnings your parents have will be assessed as means against you. You will have to provide payslips from your parents and also 3-6 months of your own bank statements.
