Regulation 22 Periodic current income check
Where—
the non-resident parent’s gross weekly income is based on an amount of current income by virtue of regulation 34(2) (the general rule for determining gross weekly income and exceptions to that rule); and
no supersession decision changing that amount has been made within the past 11 months,
the Secretary of State may, for the purposes of validating that amount, require evidence of current income to be provided by the non-resident parent.
Where the non-resident parent fails to provide evidence as requested under paragraph (1), the Secretary of State may make a supersession decision determining the non-resident parent’s gross weekly income on the basis of historic income.
Where the Secretary of State is provided with sufficient information on which to make a new determination of current income, the Secretary of State may make a supersession decision applying the general rule in regulation 34(2).
Subject to paragraph (5), a supersession decision under this regulation has effect from the date on which it is made.
Where the Secretary of State makes a supersession decision under paragraph (3) and the relevant change of circumstances affecting the non-resident parent’s current income was one that the non-resident parent was required to report in accordance with regulations under section 14(1) of the 1991 Act, the decision takes effect from the date on which the change occurred.
