Contribution-based Jobseeker's Allowance

Jobcentre Plus can pay this for up to 182 days. Its based on how much National Insurance you have paid in the last two tax years. Generally, self-employed contributions will not help you qualify for contribution-based Jobseekers Allowance.

thanks...hope you get sorted soon
Report liamcol • January 25, 2010 3:38 PM GMT
Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance

This is based on your income and savings. You may get this if you have not paid enough National Insurance contributions (NICs) (or you've only paid contributions for self-employment) and you're on a low income.
