Unless your spouse has been working previously, unlikely anything. See entitled to calculator to run a check, tick you are both British.

one can get except contribution based jsa?

- housing benefit & council tax seem to be mean tested and savings/capital seem to be considered ? Does that include all savings here in UK and abroad also?

- any other help til someone gets job?

They could be entitled to C-JSA if they've paid the relevant NI contributions over the last 2 tax years.

The other benefits which are means-tested will take into account capital abroad.
