SurveyCompare Work For Benefits' Plan Explained From April 2014 People who are still jobless after 2 years on the existing Work Programme will face a new scheme called Help To Work. How Will It Work? To still qualify for Jobseeker's Allowance there are 3 OPTIONS: Work Placements 30 hours a week for 6 months (plus 10 hours of job search activity). Placements will include: Cleaning up litter Making meals for the elderly Working for a local charity 2 Daily Job Centre Visits Check in and search for jobs every working day. Under the current system jobseekers attend 1 brief interview every 2 weeks. 3 Compulsory Training A mandatory intensive regime for claimants with underlying problems. These include drug addiction, illiteracy and mental health problems. Break The Rules? 1st offence: lose 4 weeks' worth of benefit. 2nd offence: lose 3 months' worth of benefit. ..- .. Who's Affected?
