working 3 days when does JSB run out ?

Just wanted to know I started on 3 days when I came back from Maternity Leave in February how long does it last and do you have to work 13 weeks fulltime when it finishes to get JSB again. Can I do the 13 weeks anytime during the year or does it have to be at the end of the year. Thanks a million. Like a lot of people I never had to think of this before.

Your JB entitlement is 312 days. You can start building up renewed entitlement after ckaiming 156 days benefit and will need 13 weeks PRSI paid.

So after 5 months can I do the 13 weeks fulltime or does it have to be at the end of the 312 days. Does it last longer than the year when your only claiming 3 days. Thanks a million.

Forget aboiut months, years, etc. Your entitlement is 312 days from beginning of claim. The 13 contributiosn don't have to be in one block and, as I said, counts after 156 days are paid.
