    If you have only worked 1 year in Ireland you will not get JB. You do not qualify the contribution rules. You may might combine your Irish contributions with the contributions made in your own home country- if you worked there in the last 3 years.
    JA is a means tested payment. You might get that payment- or parts of it- if your husband does not earn too much. You find the rules for the means test here:
