EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

These Regulations make amendments to various sets of Social Security Regulations consequential on the changes made by the National Insurance Contributions Act 2015 (c. 5) to reform the payment and collection of Class 2 contributions and the introduction of accelerated payment of contributions by that Act. These Regulations also make various tidying-up miscellaneous amendments.

Regulation 2 makes provision for a contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance and a contributory employment and support allowance to be treated as benefits for certain purposes of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992.

Regulation 3 makes amendments to regulations 7B and 7C of the Social Security (Credits) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1975 that are consequential on the reform of the payment and collection of Class 2 contributions.

Regulation 4 makes consequential amendments to regulation 3 of the Social Security and Child Support (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 to provide that a decision to award a relevant contributory benefit may be revised at any time where the contribution record is altered subsequently resulting in a different amount of benefit being paid to the contributor, including a nil amount. This would happen where further contributions are posted on the record or removed from the record. In this latter case, the contributions were repaid under the accelerated payments regime or because they had been paid in error. Regulation 6 makes similar amendments to the Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment, Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 in relation to “new-style” contribution-based jobseekers allowance and contributory employment and support allowance. These new-style benefits will be introduced alongside Universal Credit.

Regulation 5 makes consequential amendments to set out how late paid Class 2 contributions are to be treated for the purposes of entitlement to a contributory benefit. It also provides how Class 2 contributions paid in accordance with the self-assessment changes are to be treated for the purposes of certain contributory benefits. It also makes miscellaneous amendments to cross-references so that they refer to the relevant provision in the Social Security (Contributions) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/1004).

These Regulations make in relation to Northern Ireland only provision corresponding to provision contained in Regulations made by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in relation to Great Britain and accordingly, by virtue of section 149(3) of, and paragraph 10 of Schedule 5 to, the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992, are not subject to the requirement of section 149(2) of that Act for prior reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.
