Northern Ireland Not yet in force

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

A jobseeker’s agreement entered into by a claimant shall not cease to have effect on the coming to an end of an award of a jobseeker’s allowance made to him—

(a)

where a further claim for a jobseeker’s allowance is made within a period not exceeding 14 days, or

(b)

in respect of any part of a period of suspension, where—

(i)

payment under an award of a jobseeker’s allowance has been suspended by direction of the Department on the ground that a question arises whether the conditions for entitlement to the allowance are or were fulfilled or the award ought to be revised;

(ii)

subsequently that suspension is cancelled in respect of future periods, and

(iii)

it is then determined that the award should be revised to the effect that there was no entitlement to the allowance in respect of any part of the period of suspension, or

(c)

for as long as the claimant satisfies the conditions of entitlement to national insurance credits, other than any condition relating to the existence of a jobseeker’s agreement, in accordance with the Social Security (Credits) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1975f1.
