Contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance
The amount of contribution-based JSA depends on your age.
Weekly rate from April 2021 | |
Under 25 | £59.20 |
25 or over | £74.70 |
You may get less than this if you have part-time earnings or an occupational or personal pension, but the amount is not affected by a student loan or grant. Contribution-based JSA is only paid for up to 26 weeks. Unlike income-based JSA, you only get amounts for yourself, not for a partner.
