EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Sections 19 and 20A of the Jobseekers Act 1995 provide that jobseeker’s allowance may not be payable to a claimant who refuses or fails without good cause to take part in an employment programme when directed to do so. The term “employment programme” is defined in regulation 75(1) of the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996. One of the programmes referred to in that regulation is the Intensive Activity Period.
That programme is being extended so that jobseeker’s allowance claimants aged from 50 to 59 inclusive can be directed to participate. (It was previously mandatory only for claimants aged between 25 and 50 years.) These Regulations amend the reference to the Intensive Activity Period in regulation 75(1) so as to reflect that extension.
A full Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument because it has no impact on the costs of business, charities or voluntary bodies.
