    Apologies if this has been answered before. For the purposes if applying for BTEA, does being in receipt of JB while working a three day week count as unemployed to satisfy eligibility requirements?

    Each day you are unemployed counts towards the total required to be eligible.

    Qualifying period

    For second level courses you must have been getting a qualifying social welfare payment (see above) for at least 3 months (78 days of unemployment*). You must be getting the qualifying payment immediately before you start the course.


    For third level courses you must have been getting a qualifying social welfare payment (see above) for 9 months (234 days of unemployment*). You must be getting the qualifying payment immediately before you start the course.



    *If you are getting a jobseeker's payment, each day you are unemployed, except Sunday, is counted as a day of unemployment.
