Talk:Reload Action and Jam Tokens - Reference Card/@comment-2600:100C:B006:7B1D:D897:49C5:DA0A:F35B-20171221220703/@comment-454133-20171221222445

As soon as a ship has both a jam token and one of the listed tokens (focus, evade, blue lock), that ship removes the jam token and selects one of the listed tokens to remove. This happens instantly, as soon as the ship has both.

If for some reason you received the jam token at the same time another ability activates (they have precisely the same timing), then those effects are resolved in order of initiative. If both are owned by the same player, that player chooses the order. So perhaps in some edge case, you could receive a jam token and then spend your focus/etc before the jam token destroys it. But I doubt that edge case exists at this time.
