Process for SIgning off JSA

What is the exact process for signing/coming off Job seekers allowance?

I'm moving country and I'm unsure of the process so I would appreciate some guidance.

Do I have to go in person to tell my social welfare office that I'm leaving the country and hence they can take me off the JSA list?

Or do I just do nothing as I will not be around for my next sign on day or future sign on days?

Is there any other implications that I need to worry about?

Thanks

Just tell them you are leaving the state and they will stop your money.

You can close your Jobseeker's claim online - follow this link to your appropriate SW office.

If you're on Jobseeker's Benefit, and moving to an EU country, you may be able to continue your claim for up to 3 months if you're seeking work in your new country. If this applies, ask at the office where you sign on. It doesn't apply to Jobseeker's Allowance claims.

Thanks for the link. I didn't realise you would be able to submit online.

Just to clarify.. I can fill out this online and submit it for signing off my JSA and I do not need to go over to my local SW office to inform them?

No worries after that then I take it.

Yep, that's it - no need to visit once you complete the online form. If there are any questions, the office will contact you by phone.

Gipimann,

That's great. Thanks for the help and clarification on this.
