Jobseeker's Allowance
Back to Work BonusBack to Work Bonus
||The Back to Work Bonus scheme is available to people who have been entitled to
Jobseeker's Allowance or Income Support for 91 days or more and are working part-time
while claiming benefit.
If, following the 91 day period, your Jobseeker's Allowance has been reduced because you or your partner have earnings from part-time work, the scheme will help you to build up a bonus equal to half those weekly part-time earnings after the appropriate disregard has been deducted.
This cash sum may be available to you when your Jobseeker's Allowance ceases because of the work you do, or your partner does, or because of the amount of money either of you earn. The bonus is a tax free lump sum and can be up to a maximum of £1,000.
Ask your Employment Service Adviser if you think you may be eligible for the Back to Work Bonus.
