Update on JAT following briefing at Dept of Social Protection
One Family attended a briefing this evening at the Department of Social Protection to learn about the new scheme announced today that will be available to lone parents: Jobseekers’ Allowance – Transition.
The scheme removes the requirement to be looking and available for full-time employment, but has particular conditionalities that must be met. The Department will be sending letters out to those who were previously expected to move onto Jobseekers’ Allowance in the first week of July. Local offices will not have full details of the JAT until next week.

Anyone who has any questions regarding the upcoming transition, please call the askonefamily lo-call helpline on 1890 662 212.
