Is it better to buy JEPQ before or after the ex-dividend date?

To get the next dividend you have to buy before the ex-date. That doesn't make it free money: with everything else held still, the price is expected to open lower on the ex-date by about the dividend, since new buyers no longer get it (the market moves the price too). Buying before or after mostly decides whether the next payment reaches you as cash, which in a taxable account is taxed that year. The Ex-Dividend Price Drop Calculator works it out for any price and dividend.

Do I get the JEPQ dividend if I buy on the ex-dividend date?

No. Shares bought on or after the ex-date don't get that dividend. You need to buy by the trading day before it. Selling on or after the ex-date keeps the dividend.
