Self employed people normally don't qualify for JSB as you have to have been paying a Class A PRSI contribution and the self employed pay Class S. But you may have been employed elsewhere where you did pay the class A so it depends.

If you don't qualify for JSB you may still be entitled to the means tested Jobseekers Allowance.
