These Regulations amend the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/207) by ensuring that where a linked period commenced before 6th October 1997, any day of unemployment which forms part of a period of interruption of employment shall be treated as a jobseeking period if that period ends within 8 weeks of the commencement of the linked period (regulation 2).
They also amend the Jobseeker’s Allowance (Transitional Provisions) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/2567) so as to provide that in the case of persons to whom unemployment benefit was payable on 6th or 7th April 1996 and where the period of interruption of employment that was current on that date was also current on the relevant day, section 5(1) of the Jobseekers Act 1995 (c. 18) shall only have effect as if the reference to 182 days were replaced by a reference to 312 days, up until the day before these Regulations come into force (regulation 3).
These Regulations do not impose any charge on business.
