Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA)

Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) is a UK government benefit for individuals actively seeking work. It provides financial support to help cover living costs while you're looking for employment. To qualify, you must be unemployed or working less than a specified number of hours, be available for work, and actively search for jobs. JSA is typically paid weekly or fortnightly and may require participation in job search activities or training. The amount depends on your age and circumstances. It aims to support individuals while they work toward securing suitable employment.
