Regulation 109 When a reduction is to be terminated
A reduction in the amount of an award under section 26 or 27 of the Act is to be terminated where—
since the date of the most recent sanctionable failure which gave rise to a reduction, the claimant has been in paid work for a period of, or for periods amounting in total to, at least 26 weeks; and
the claimant’s weekly earnings during that period or those periods were equal to or exceeded—
the claimant’s individual threshold, or
if paragraph (4) of regulation 90 applies (threshold for an apprentice) the amount applicable under that paragraph.
The termination of the reduction has effect—
where the date on which paragraph (1) is satisfied falls within a period of entitlement to universal credit, from the beginning of the assessment period in which that date falls; or
where that date falls outside a period of entitlement to universal credit, from the beginning of the first assessment period in relation to any subsequent award.
A claimant who is treated as having earned income in accordance with regulation 62 (minimum income floor) in respect of an assessment period is to be taken to have weekly earnings equal to their individual threshold in respect of any week falling within that assessment period.
