Can you get JSA paid directly into your bank account?

LegacyUser

I have been searching the forum and have read old threads where people say you cannot get JSA paid directly into your bank account. However, citizensinformation site says you can get social welfare payments paid in. See the link below.

So I would like to ask if anyone knows what the right answer is? Anyone getting JSA paid into their account at the moment?

Just asking before I print out the form and send it off. Want to know if it is worth my while.

The only people who can get Jobseekers paid into an account are those who are working some days and claiming for other days.

Did you spot this little note on the back page of the Form that you linked to?

"Jobseeker’s Payments
Please note Jobseeker’s Payments are not normally paid into a Bank Account."
