Moving to Ireland from UK: Job Seekers

LegacyUser

My girlfriend is currently looking at renting a house with her sister and I was going to go and move in with them while looking for work in Ireland. I'm currently claiming Job Seekers allowance here in the UK and I've heard that it's possible to transfer it for up to 13 weeks. God forbid after 13 weeks I still haven't got a job is there no way possible to claim Irish JSA. I've read lots of things about habitually assessments and means tests but I have no clue of what my situation entitles me too.

You will need to contact the uk dept with regard to transferring your claim to Ireland.
