Job Grant

 
You could get a Job Grant if you stop getting certain benefits (see below) because you start working for 16 or more hours a week (or your partner starts working for 24 or more hours a week).

Job Grants are paid at two rates:

  • £100 for single people or childless couples
  • £250 for lone parents and couples with children.

Who can claim

You must have been getting one of the following benefits continuously for at least six months:

  • Income Support
  • Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
  • Incapacity Benefit
  • Severe Disablement Allowance.
You must expect the job to last for at least five weeks.

How to claim

You do not have to fill in a claim form - just tell your local Jobcentre Plus office about the job within 21 days of starting work.
