Hi

hopefully this is a reasonably straightforward query but my mind's not working too well this morning!
If a lone parent from an EEA state is working part time, can they top up their income with Income Support or would it be IB JSA? I always though it was the latter but now not so sure!
Any answers gratefully received.

Which EEA state? If one of the "old" EEA, or an A8/A2 national who has worked their 12 months under the appropriate scheme, then they have the right to work and can be a "worker" and be habitually resident with a right to reside. The question then is whether any work is genuine and effective. So two hours a week probably isn't, but maybe 12+ is.

If they are NOT classified as a worker then yes it has to be IBJSA.
