is it worth signing on if you are the 16k threshold to get ni payments

[unclebumpkin]

and do you still have to go and in every week/fortnight...

thankyou

Yes, you still have to sign on.

And if you have relevant NI contributions you will get contributory-JSA for 6 months regardless.

Beyond that, you will be expected to use savings to support yourself.

job finished late friday night - any idea when do i need to sign on by?

thankyou!

No idea, but it can't hurt to pop into the JobCentre on Monday with any records you might have of job ending/redundancy and make an appointment with an advisor.

Does it not have to be done online today then? I can hold on until weekend's over... do you know? Thankyou
