job seekers allowance
State unemployment payment
Job seekers allowance is a British government benefit paid to unemployed people who are actively looking for work.
Recipients must demonstrate they're searching for employment and typically attend regular appointments at a job centre.
The program has largely been replaced by Universal Credit, though the term persists: He was on job seekers allowance for six months before finding work.
Often abbreviated JSA.
