JSB TO JSA HELP

Albany22

My jsb has just ran out and I have been asked to apply for jsa. My husband works and we have some savings put aside for emergencies - what I want to know is what is the limit for my husbands earnings and on our savings and if we exceed this I presume I get nothing at all - is this correct?

You can have up to €20k in savings and still get the full rate JSA, amounts over €20k and you may get a reduced rate of JSA

regarding my husbands salary is there a limit before you are deducted? Are you always called for interview and to show statements of your accounts?
