EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations replace the pilot scheme established by the Social Security (Preparation for Employment Programme 50 to 59 Pilot) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 (“the 2006 Regulations”), which related to persons who claimed jobseeker’s allowance and who fulfilled the criteria specified in regulation 3 of those Regulations as to age and period over which they had been receiving benefit.
These Regulations provide for an extended pilot scheme which is to last for a year from 1st April 2007 to 31st March 2008, unless revoked with effect from an earlier date.
Regulation 3 modifies regulation 75(1)(a)(v) of the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations with the effect that if a person without good cause refuses or fails to participate in the employment programme known as the Preparation for Employment Programme or gives up his place on this programme, he will be subject to a sanction under Article 21 or 22A of the Jobseeker’s (Northern Ireland) Order 1995. The effect of this will be the loss or reduction of his jobseeker’s allowance for a period of 2, 4 or 26 weeks.
Regulation 4 provides that a person who was participating in the Pilot scheme established under the 2006 Regulations will be subject to these Regulations from the date that the 2006 Regulations expire.
