RE: JSA Claims

Wow! That's a good hourly rate! Your client would need to inform the jobcentre of the part time work and fill in the associated paperwork (used to be A15C and a B7). Earnings of £300 would disqualify your client from recieving JSA for that week, but their claim should remain open; because they are still only working for twelve hours they are still "actively seeking and available for employment" as required. A couple of points to note however; the money is only taken into consideration when your client actually recieves the money; such as if they worked a month in hand. Also, if your client is self employed they can have these earnings averaged over a longer period of time with the benefit being adjusted accordingly. If your client signed off for that week, and then re-claimed immediately afterwards they would disrupt qualifying periods for support such as Housing Benefit run-on and the Job Grant...or whatever it's called these days.
