Eligible to claim JSA?

Post by peti2006 » Wed May 30, 2018 4:01 pm

Hi all,

I'm holding ILR and my husband is holding FLR(m) dependent visa, we got 2 years old British citizen child.

Can my husband claim Job Seeker Allowance (with his FLR-m)? He is actively looking for jobs and have NI number. I'm working full-time job, earning 48K annual.

Thanks in advance.

He is only entitled to claim Contribution Based Job Seekers Allowance and this will depend on whether he has made sufficient Class 1 National Insurance payments.

Income Based JSA is a Public fund, to which which he has no entitlement to while under FLR(M).

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
