Hi,

My girlfriend quit her job to mind our children 2 years ago.

She has not claimed jobseekers etc as she is not looking for work.

Should she be signing on or doing something to maintain entitlement to the state pension? She is 37.

She may start looking for part time work shortly.

Should she register for jobseekers then? My concern is making sure she keeps entitlement to state pension as I am not clear on what needs to be done to keep that.

Thanks
