From Welfare to short term work and back

[timo20]

Hi and apologies if this has been asked previously but I'm a bit stressed and annoyed.

I was on welfare for 3 months and then I got a full time job so I stopped my claim.

Now 2 weeks later I got let go after my employer suddenly lost their largest contract.

AKA I got screwed.

Will I be able to reactivate my old claim as I was eligible for job-bridge and would like to be again immediately or will I have to start all over again.

Thanks
Tim

To be eligible for job-bridge, you must have been in receipt of a qualifying social welfare payment for 3 of the previous 6 months. Once you make a repeat jobseeker's claim, you should be eligible for the job-bridge scheme again.
