Clients who have an ‘in-flight’ 52 week reapplication on 1 July 2025
On 1 July 2025 some clients (and any partner included in their Jobseeker Support) will have an 'in-flight' 52 week reapplication and will complete the 52 week reapplication process, rather than the 26 week reapplication process.
This applies to clients, who on 1 July 2025, had already been sent their 'initial notice to reapply' letter before 1 July 2025. Their letter outlined the 52 week reapplication process.
When these clients complete the reapplication process before their final 52 week expiry date and Jobseeker Support is regranted, they move to the 26 week expiry and reapplication cycle.
