To claim UB or UA you have to be unemployed and your wife is working.
Wrong, you have to have suffered a loss of employment. Not always the same thing.
The main questions for your wife now are: is it currently her choice to only work 3 days a week, and is she looking for work for the other days?
To qualify for Jobseeker's Benefit you must:
- Be unemployed (you must be fully unemployed or unemployed for at least 3 days in 6)
- Be under 66 years of age
- Have enough social insurance (PRSI) contributions
- Be capable of work
- Be available for and genuinely seeking work
- Have a substantial loss of employment and as a result be unemployed for at least 3 days in 6.
Ther is nothing to say that the OP's wife took the job as it was only P/T work rather than F/T. It may be that ther was no F/T available and so there may be an entitlement to JB for other days.Nope, not entitled. If you take a job for 3 days a week, knowing it is 3 days a week, you haven't any involuntary loss of employment. You can't apply for JB when you have chosen to work part time.
