Help with moving from benefits to work
Support when you start working
Going back to work does not mean giving up all your benefits. Some benefits may carry on, and others may be available once you바카라 사이트™re working.
Contact Jobcentre Plus if you바카라 사이트™ve found a job and you or your partner have been getting:
- Jobseeker바카라 사이트™s Allowance (JSA)
- Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- Income Support
- Universal Credit
Your Jobcentre Plus work coach will help you to manage your move into work, and sort out changes to your other benefits, including tax credits. What you can get will depend on how long you were claiming these benefits without a break.
You do not have to fill in any forms, but make sure you have details of your income, savings and any rent payments to hand.
Use a benefits calculator to see how starting a job or increasing your working hours affects your benefits.
