   Hi,
   The maximum weekly rates are:
   
   Single people, aged under 25: £50.95
   
   Single people aged 25 or over: £64.30
   
   Couples and civil partnerships (both aged 18 or over): £100.95
   
   Lone parents (aged under 18): £50.95
   
   Lone parents (aged 18 or over): £64.30
   
   For income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, the amount may be less after your household income, pension and savings is taken into account.
   
   To get Jobseeker's Allowance you must be:
   
       * available for and actively seeking work
       * between 18 and State Pension age
       * working less than 16 hours per week on average
   
   Jobseeker's Allowance isn't normally paid to 16 or 17 year olds, except in special cases.
   
   If you’re a man aged 60 to 64, you may be better off claiming Pension Credit. Contact Jobcentre Plus for advice.
