Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends regulations which concern revocations and savings consequent upon the introduction of changes to the child support scheme under the Child Support Act 1991 (c. 48) made by Part I of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000 (c. 19). The amendments made by regulation 2 ensure that those revocations or savings are to have effect subject to the provisions of the Child Support (Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2000 (“the Transitional Regulations”).

Regulation 3 amends the Transitional Regulations to provide that for the purposes of the Social Security Benefits (Maintenance Payments and Consequential Amendments) Regulations 1996, which provide for the interpretation of the term “child maintenance” for the purposes of section 74A of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (c. 5), a conversion decision made under the Transitional Regulations is to be treated, on or after the case conversion date, as if it were a maintenance calculation.

These Regulations do not impose any cost on business.
