Regulation 9 Circumstances in which requirement to participate in the Scheme is suspended or ceases to apply
The requirement for a claimant (“C”) to participate in the Scheme does not apply for any period during which C is not required to meet the jobseeking conditions.
Where the Scheme provider fails to give a notice in writing in accordance with regulation 8, the requirement for C to participate in the Scheme is treated as not applying until such a notice is issued by the Scheme provider.
A requirement to participate in the Scheme ceases to apply to C if—
the Secretary of State gives C notice in writing that C is no longer required to participate in the Scheme; or
C ceases to be entitled to jobseeker’s allowance.
If the Secretary of State gives the claimant a notice in writing under paragraph (3)(a), the requirement to participate in the Scheme ceases to apply on the day specified in the notice.
