Regulation 16 Partners of claimants on jobseeker’s allowance
The social security information specified in paragraph (2) may be supplied by a relevant authority to the partner of a claimant for a jobseeker’s allowance where—
the allowance has been in payment to the claimant, or would have been in payment to him but for section 19 of the Jobseekers Act 1995 (circumstances in which jobseeker’s allowance is not payable) for a period of 6 months or more;
the allowance remains in payment or would be in payment but for that section; and
the partner is being invited to attend the office of the relevant authority for purposes connected with employment or training.
The information which may be supplied is —
that jobseeker’s allowance is in payment to the claimant or would be in payment to him but for section 19 of the Jobseekers Act; and
that payment has been made to the claimant or would have been so made but for section 19, for a period of at least 6 months.
In this regulation, “partner" has the same meaning as in the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 M1 by virtue of section 1(3) of those Regulations.
