Your Claimant Commitment could include:

You should continue to do all the things you have agreed to do if you can do them safely.

You can search and apply for work using the ‘Find a job’ service.

Your work coach will arrange appointments with you every 1 to 2 weeks.

At these appointments, you must show your work coach what you’ve been doing to look for work, for example proof of job applications and interviews.

Your JSA payments can be reduced or stopped for a period if you do not do something your work coach asks you to do. This is called being ‘sanctioned’. For example, if you:

You may also be sanctioned if you:

You’ll be told how long your payment will be reduced or stopped for. It could be for up to 26 weeks (about 6 months).

If you want to know how long your JSA payment could be reduced or stopped for, read part 3 or part 4 of the guidance on JSA sanctions.

If your payment is reduced or stopped, you should keep looking for work. Your benefit payment could be affected for longer if you do not.

If you disagree with the decision to stop payment, you can ask for the decision to be looked at again - this is called ‘mandatory reconsideration’.

If you disagree with the outcome of the mandatory reconsideration, you can appeal to the Social Security and Child Support Tribunal.

You should continue with any JSA claim until the dispute is settled.

You should contact your local council immediately. They’ll tell you what to do to continue getting support.

If you get income-based JSA, your claim may be ended if you’re not available for or actively seeking work.

You cannot apply for income-based JSA again. Instead, check if you’re eligible for Universal Credit and eligible for New Style Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA). You could get both at the same time.

If you were claiming income-based JSA, you may be able to get a hardship payment if your JSA payments have been stopped. You do not have to pay it back.

A hardship payment is a reduced amount (usually 60%) of your JSA.

If you were claiming New Style Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), you cannot get a hardship payment.

You can get a hardship payment if you cannot pay for rent, heating, food or other basic needs for you or your child.

You must be 18 or over.

You’ll have to show that you’ve tried to find the money from somewhere else, such as borrowing from a friend or working extra hours.

Speak to your Jobcentre Plus adviser or work coach to find out how to claim a hardship payment.
