Contribution-based Jobseeker's Allowance
You may get contribution-based Jobseekers Allowance if you have paid or been credited with class 1 National Insurance (NI) contributions in the relevant tax years.
have you worked b4 in the uk ?
and
Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
This is based on your income and savings. You may get this if you have not paid enough National Insurance contributions (NICs)
If your partner or civil partner works 24 hours or more a week on average, you can't usually get income-based JSA (contribution-based JSA isn't affected). If they work less than 24 hours, it may affect how much you get.
so if you have not worked or paid enough NI contributions you will not be able to claim Contribution-based Jobseeker's Allowance, and if your hubby works 24hrs a week you can't usually get income-based JSA.
