JOB SEEKERS ALLOWANCE


It is wise precaution to chat to the Jobcentre well before your move out to Germany, about registering for JSA. On the day before your departure visit again to check that the claim has been processed and to collect supporting documentation. Ask for a bilingual letter in English and in the language appropriate to the country to which you are posted and Forms E301 and possibly, E303 which are issued by the UK authorities before you leave. On arrival in the new posting, visit the local equivalent of the Jobcentre (e.g. Arbeitsamt in BFG) within 5 working days for your claim to be processed locally. Make sure you have all the documentation with you: bilingual letter, Forms E301, E303, National Health and Insurance Numbers, passport, a record of employment including the last four pay slips, P45, CV or record of qualifications and your bank account details. If you don’t speak the language, take someone with you who does. Follow the local procedures and, with luck, you will receive up to 3 months JSA. For further information please visit www.army.mod.uk/aff/aff_new/families_information/employment The Paderborn Arbeitsamt can be found on Bahnhof Str 26. Paderborn. The Detmold Arbeitsamt can be found Georg Strasse.
