How is New Style JSA paid?

[ch 4: page 46]

Unlike Universal Credit, which is paid monthly, New Style JSA payments are usually made every two weeks into a bank, building society or credit union account. As with Universal Credit, sanctions may apply if you fail to comply with the Claimant Commitment, although the DWP has stated that they will not apply this during the coronavirus outbreak.
