The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 4(5) and (12), 35(1) and 36(2) of the Jobseekers Act 1995(1).

(a)the claimant has been living in any of those places for the past three months; and
(b)the claimant has a right to reside in any of those places, other than a right to reside which falls within paragraph (3).”.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend regulation 85A of the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 in relation to the definition of a “person from abroad”.
A claimant for a jobseeker’s allowance who is not habitually resident in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland (“the Common Travel Area”) is a person from abroad for whom the applicable amount is nil.
The effect of the amendment is that the habitual residence test cannot be satisfied unless the claimant has been living in the Common Travel Area for the past three months. This is in addition to the existing requirement to have a right to reside in the Common Travel Area.
Regulation 3 provides a saving for claims made or treated as made before 1st January 2014.
An assessment of the impact of these Regulations has been made. A copy of the impact assessment is available alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.

Asesiadau Effaith
Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
