These Regulations amend regulation 16 of the Social Security (Payments on account, Overpayments and Recovery) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1988 to provide for the higher rate of deduction to recover overpayments from income support or jobseeker’s allowance to be applied to a person who, after caution, makes an admission of deception or fraud or agrees to pay a penalty as an alternative to prosecution.
Regulation 3 contains a transitional provision.
Regulation 4 makes a consequential revocation.
These Regulations correspond to provision contained in Regulations made by the Secretary of State for Social Security 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.
