    Hi all - hope someone can help with my queries

    Unfortunately I have been made redundant, and will need to sign on in the next 2 weeks.

    I have been working full time in this job for the last 3.5 years.

    Will I qualify for JSB? I have previously got this back in 2012, which ran out and I was moved to JSA.

    Will my last 3.5 years full time work enable me to claim JSB, or has it run out from my previous claim in 2012? Or has my job prsi contributions made me eligible again?

    Also are these payments still made at post office or via bank account these days?

    I appreciate any help

    Thank you

    Working for the last 3.5 years should qualify you for JSB.

    You collect in local post office. Only paid into bank if you are working casually I.e. 1 or 2 days a week.
