Advice needed

So i quit my job today, stress and a family problem the main contribution but the boss said I'll be able to get my job back if i decided i wanted to go back and if there was work, i told them i was leaving to travel.

I've heard it takes 9 weeks to get dole so my question is if i quit my job is there a way i can skip over to Thailand for the 2 months collect the dole when i get back then go back to my job?

It doesn't take 9 weeks to get the dole.

You will be excluded from any payment for 9 weeks, and then the claim will be processed, which can take 2-3 months in some areas.

So, if you apply today, you may not receive payment until 5 or more months from now, and will only receive payments dated from 9 weeks after today.

As for going away for 2 months and then going back and collecting the dole back payment and going back to work - no, you can't do this. The stipulation with the dole is that you have to be actively seeking full time employment.

Did your contract come to an end? Did you get let go? Did you get sacked? All the above reasons can be used to get the scratcher straight away. Also me mate Dave went traveling for a couple of months around Europe looking for a job (took in the euros). You can bring the scratcher to Europe.

He said he quit his job.

He also said that he wants to go to Thailand for 2 months, come back and take up his old job. Presumably that means that he won't be looking for full time work in Thailand, if he's intending to come home to his job.

Good points, just making sure they know all the options.

Cheers man, so if i say my contract finished and just went on a 2 month euro job seeking trip I'll get paid?

My job isn't guaranteed so I'll probably leave it out when i go to the social welfare.

If you say your contract finished, and don't tell them that you quit, you'll be caught out. They contact your last job to ask them about the reason for you leaving/being let go. How about just using some honesty instead of talking about defrauding the already financially crippled country?

I wasn't talking about defrauding the state i was enquiring about a legal way to get dole and be away. It just seems that all these work shy people can treat the dole like a holiday camp then why can't i?

Lying about your contract finishing and claiming something that you're only entitled to if you are genuinely seeking full time employment when you're not IS defrauding the state and isn't legal.

I gave you factual advice on it.

You're clearly just looking for a way to take a holiday while being paid for it, considering you thank only the post from the person who tells you simple ways to defraud the state, and ignore what I say about what you're considering being fraud. :rolleyes:

ARE YOU FOR REAL?

You want to get paid to holiday in Thailand?

In fairness, try and think about this logically. If it was (legal and) as easy as quitting your job to get paid social welfare to holiday in Thailand, wouldnt everyone be doing it?

Aside from the fact that it is illegal and you have a 9 week waiting period, have you any morals? Idiots like you make me :mad:

From what you have posted, you are looking fore a way to defraud DSFA. You cannot go to Thailand or anywhere else and claim dole. You must be actively seeking work. You have already lied to your boss and seem to have no problem attempting to do the same to DSFA:(
