Moving town. Need advice

liu83

My wife is moving to another city to study full time. I will need to give up my full time job as I do not have a job waiting for me there. I am wondering what my entitlements are if I leave my job and if I can claim jobseekers benefit. I will be looking for a job there but so far I haven't been successful in finding one in advance.
Would appreciate people's input or advice as I am worried I would need to move out there without a job to start with. We are already stretched financially by paying the fees of more than 12 000 ourselves.

You may be disqualified from getting Jobseeker's Benefit for 9 weeks if you:

• Left work voluntarily and without a reasonable cause

From here http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfare_payments/unemployed_people/jobseekers_benefit.html


Other than this you should be able to claim for JSB.(if you meet the prsi rules)
