# The Jobseeker’s Allowance (Amendment) Regulations 1999, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations (S.I. 1996/207) (“the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations”).
In particular they provide that where a claimant who is required to attend at a place and time specified in a notice under regulation 23 of the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations (for example, a fortnightly attendance at a Jobcentre) attends on the right day but at the wrong time, his entitlement will cease if, having then received a written warning, he attends at the wrong time again on the next due date. The effect of these Regulations is also to clarify that a claimant fails to attend on the required day at all, his entitlement may cease without him receiving a written warning. These Regulations do not apply to attendance on an employment programme or training scheme because such a failure to attend is the subject of separate regulations.
