My partner is on JSB. I was laid off 3 weeks ago after being back to work for only 3 months. Does this mean I will be on JSA instead of JSB? We have one dependent. How much will we be entitled to weekly?
 
It's possible that you might requalify for Jobseeker's Benefit - it depends on your PRSI record and whether you worked 13 weeks in your recent job.

If you do qualify for JSB then you'll receive a maximum rate of €188 plus half-rate for your child (your partner would qualify for the same).

If you don't qualify for JSB, then you'll go back onto JSA and, if there have been no changes to your means since the last claim, you'll get the same amount as before.

Your SW/Intreo office will confirm which payment you're eligible for.
