EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 (“the 1996 Regulations”).
Certain people have to claim a jobseeker’s allowance as a couple rather than individually (known as a joint-claims couple). Regulation 2(2) amends the 1996 Regulations with the result that joint-claim couples shall include those childless couples where at least one member of the couple was born after 28th October 1947 instead of 28th October 1957.
Regulation 2(3) allows one member of a joint-claim couple to continue claiming a jobseeker’s allowance where that member, but not the other member, was entitled to an income-based jobseeker’s allowance on 24th February 2008. This continued claim ends when the member who was not entitled on 24th February 2008 is required to attend a place specified by an employment officer.
Regulation 2(4) revokes regulation 3F of the 1996 Regulations which is a spent provision.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
