Job Start Payment

Social Security Scotland’s Job Start Payment is £314.45 (or £503.10 if you are the parent or main carer of a child)

Job Start Payment helps with the costs of starting a new job if you

• are aged 16-24
• have been out of work and getting a qualifying benefit for 6 months

You can apply up to 3 months after the date you got offered the job.

If you are a care-leaver you can apply up to the age of 25 and only have to be getting a qualifying benefit on the day you were offered the job.
