From April 2009, Jobcentre Plus will align and lengthen payment periods for the majority of Working Age benefits.  It will involve assigning a single benefit week ending day for each individual, regardless of the benefits they receive.  Payment will be made fortnightly in arrears for a benefit week-ending day that is determined by the customer’s National Insurance number.

Jobcentre Plus will move all customers to a single benefit week ending day determined by the last two numbers of their NI number, as follows:

• 00 - 19 = Monday
• 20 - 39 = Tuesday
• 40 - 59 = Wednesday
• 60 - 79 = Thursday
• 80 - 99 = Friday.
