    Hi

    Does anyone know if my cohabitant should be signing credits along with me if she is a qualified adult on my claim?
    Does she have to do that to be eligible for Jobbridge?

    You must be getting JB, JA, DA, OFP or signing on for credits for a total of 3 months* or more in the last 6 months.

    If she is available for work, and actively seeking work, she is better off to sign on in her own right. She will get half the money, you will get half. It means that she may become eligible for further education, FAS courses and various forms of training. In addition, if she is eligible for credits, they may help her to qualify for a greater amount of payment in the future, for such things as illness benefit or old age pension. In other words, it is greatly to her advantage if she signs in her own right.
