I'm still on Job Seekers Allowance and will be migrated to UC soon. Will that mean I have to use a DWP job search site, like Find a Job - if it still exists?

How soon is soon? Managed migration notices for JSA claimants are due to begin being sent out in September of this year. If you are one of the first recipients of an Envelope of Doom and you take the full 12 weeks+1 day to claim UC you are probably still on JSA until late November at the earliest.

I really don't know if you can be mandated to use Find A Job. It's on my current CC for my JSA claim. Reader/taxpayers, I confess I've only looked on Find A Job once this year because I keep forgetting.

I didn't know it was September that we would be migrated. My roach just said in a few months.

Is Find a Job also for people on UC? I thought they had a different one.

I just found this from 2018, but the rules might have changed by now:

"Use of the Find a job website is not compulsory for claimants of Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) or Universal Credit (UC). JSA and UC claimants are asked to create an account and upload a Curriculum Vitae (CV) on Find a job or another jobsite when they make a new claim. If a claimant creates an account using a jobsite other than Find a job, it must be one that is deemed to be suitable by the Work Coach."
