    I'm just wondering does anybody know what happens if you're on part-time JA and you leave your part-time job? Are you cut off completely? Receive more, receive less?

    From Welfare.ie

    "Disqualification from Jobseeker's Allowance

    You may be disqualified from getting Jobseeker's Allowance for 9 weeks if you:
    Left work voluntarily and without just cause
    Lost your job through misconduct
    Refused an offer of suitable alternative employment or suitable training
    Suitable employment does not include employment in a job that is vacant because of a trade dispute. In addition, the employment must be suitable, having regard to your age, sex, physique, education, normal occupation, where you live, rate of pay offered and your family circumstances."

    I would imagine if you just quit your job, they will disqualify you for 9 weeks? If you were let go, you'd go into full Jobseekers provided you're genuinely seeking work

    Thanks. I saw that, but that's just on full-time work I think.

    That applies to any job you leave voluntarily. Is there a legitimate reason that you are leaving your job.... if yes then the disqualification may be waived depending on the circumstances and the deciding officer.
