Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/207), the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1967), the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1971) and the Council Tax Benefit (General) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/1814).
In particular, these Regulations amend the definition of the Employment Option of the New Deal in regulation 75 of the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations so that the employed earner’s Employment Option of the New Deal becomes subject to sanctions of discretionary length and is omitted from the linking provisions set out in regulation 48. These Regulations also omit “Jobplan Workshop” and “Programme Centre Workshop” from the definition of “employment programme” set out in regulation 75.
These Regulations also provide that mandatory top-up payments made under section 2 of the Employment and Training Act 1973 in relation to the Full-Time Education and Training Option of the New Deal shall be disregarded in the calculation of income or capital for jobseeker’s allowance, income support, housing benefit and council tax benefit.
These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
