    I know someone working but going to maternity leave soon, state maternity benefit only. As it's a FTC she may have no job to go back to, and even if she wanted to she has a massive commute so would want to change. Can she get JSA/JSB after maternity leave, or should she look for a new job while on maternity leave so she has one to go into straight away when the maternity pay runs out.

    If she loses her job while on maternity leave she will qualify for JSB as long as she meets all the requirements.
    If she gives up her job then she will be most likely disqualified for 9 weeks and then may struggle to convince that she meets all the requirements.

    Thanks. She meets all requirements for JSB and contracts ends after
    Maternity leave starts so I presume she gets her 26 weeks and the gets JSB if she hasn't found a job?

    That's about the size of it.
