Jobseeker Support sole parents and full-time study

Clients studying full-time do not qualify for Jobseeker Support.

Clients who want to study full-time can check whether they qualify for Student Allowance, Student Loan and other tertiary student supports. This also applies for clients getting Emergency Benefit equivalent benefit to Jobseeker Support depending on the conditions of grant.

A full-time tertiary student is a person enrolled in a full-time course or study programme within the meaning of the Student Allowances Regulations 1998.
