Registering as a jobseeker?

[LAROCCAMOM]

I am now in the UK. I thought I read somewhere here that an EU national upon arrival needs to register as a job seeker with the job centre plus. Is that right?
If so, how to? and how does this benefit me?
Also, I have a new Spanish friend here who says that given to the fact that I have 3 children I should be applying for child benefit.
Should I do that?
I don't want to be living off of goverment funds, although it would be nice to have a little help as money is running out.

Any thoughts:?:

As I believe you are aware from previous posts, you are allowed 75 days in the UK before you need to 'exercise your Treaty Rights'. You will need to register with the Job Centre or provide other evidence that you are actively seeking employment.

Yes, I am registered with 5 agencies and I have an appoinment with another one on Monday. I have gone to about 5 interiews with companies so far, some from the agencies, others that I got on my own.

Is that alright? I don't understand why I need to register as a job seeker though. Can someone please explain?

Thank you

You have various options to prove you are 'excercising your Treaty Rights' (remember the refusal of your husband's permit, when it was believed you wouldn't meet this condition)?
As indicated in the EEA regulations there is a three month period in which your sponsor can stay in the EU without exercising treaty rights and therefore can sponsor you for an EEA Family Permit. On your application form you have stated that you plan to stay in the UK for 75 days. While I acknowledge that your sponsor has answered 'yes' to the question 'do you intend to work in the UK', the limited date you have place on your application leads me to doubt whether your sponsor will be exercising her treaty rights after the initial three month period or will be going elsewhere in the EU after this period.
1. Employment
2. Actively seeking employment- with evidence to support this.
3. Studying
4. Self sufficient - with conditions attached..one being private medical insurance, no claim to Public funds etc.
