They are STILL "without a job, have been actively seeking work". Simply being in receipt of benefits is NOT the criteria.

Unemployment is different from the claimant count, which measures only those people who are claiming unemployment-related benefits (Jobseeker's Allowance since 1996). The claimant count is normally the lower measure because some unemployed people are not entitled to claim unemployment-related benefits, or choose not to do so.
