Waiting for JA and getting new job in the meantime

sabinalee

Hi,

I finished CE scheme and sign out for JA two weeeks ago. Still havn't get any decisiion, but in the meantime I got a job already - starting tomorrow. ( which make me happy )

My questions:
1. My first salary will be in two weeks time and I have to live. Petrol, ffod, bills...kids needs.
Should I still claim money from SW, till I get my first wages? /
2. How should I let SW know that I got a job. Will they see it anyway/

I'm not really sure wha to do... Still no sign from SW about amount of JA allowance I will get....but I'm sure I deserve for something anyway..

Please advice.

Thank You

1)Do not claim and work.
2)sign off online https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/secure/CloseClaim.aspx
You need to sign off today (Monday if you have not done so already)

I did sign off two days after I started my job. thank Yiu.

Today, I got Back to Work Divindent Form from Social Welfare (?!)

I was on CE scheeme for a year plus 7 days on JA after the scheeme and 1 year before I took CE.

Think I could qualify to back to work Scheeme.

I will try anyway.

How did it go if you don't mind? You got the backpayment?
