ARTICLE 14 Maternity Grant under the Legislation of Jersey and Guernsey

(1) In this Article “Party” means Jersey or Guernsey, as the case may be.

(2) For the purpose of a claim to maternity grant under the legislation of one Party, a woman who is confined in the territory of the other Party shall be treated as if she were in, or confined in, the territory of the former Party and any grant to which she may be entitled under the legislation of that Party shall be payable as if she were in, or confined in, the territory of that Party and not as if she were in, or confined in, the territory of the latter Party.

(a) the grant shall be payable only under the legislation of the Party in whose territory the confinement occurs; or

(b) if the confinement does not occur in the territory of either Party, the grant shall be payable only under the legislation of the Party under whose legislation the woman or, if relevant to the claim, her husband was last insured before the confinement.

(4) Where a woman would not be entitled to a maternity grant under the legislation of either Party then, for the purposes of a claim under the legislation of the Party in whose territory she was confined or, if she was not confined in the territory of either Party under the legislation of the territory in which she or her husband was last insured before her confinement, any insurance period completed under the legislation of the other Party shall be treated, in accordance with Article 12, as an insurance period completed under the legislation of the Party to whom the claim is appropriate.
