Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 2 amends the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/207). Paragraph (1) amends existing provisions which cover claims in respect of a past period, to provide that no period before the claim is made forms part of the jobseeking period. Paragraph (2) is a technical amendment to ensure that references to the Social Security (Credits) Regulations 1975 (S.I. 1975/556) are correct.
Regulations 4 and 5 amend the Family Credit (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1973) and Disability Working Allowance (General) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/2887) to enable child care charges to be calculated in circumstances where an agreement for child care has been made, but charges for that care have not been incurred.
These Regulations do not impose a charge on businesses.
