Jobseeker’s Agreement

To complete your claim you have to go to an interview at your local Jobcentre Plus. At your interview with the adviser, a Jobseeker’s Agreement will be drawn up and you will be expected to sign it. The agreement will include information on the type of work you are looking for, the hours you are available for work and the steps you will take to find a job.

You’ll normally have a review meeting every two weeks to check if you’re doing the things in your agreement.

If you don’t attend your interview or your review meetings this will delay your JSA payment and may mean you won’t get any JSA at all.

If you are 16 or 17, the agreement will cover training issues as well as work and will cover actions you are taking to seek work and training.
