# The Social Security (PPF Payments and FAS Payments) (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Social Security Benefit (Dependency) Regulations 1977 (S.I. 1977/343), the Social Security (Incapacity Benefit - Increases for Dependants) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/2945) and the Social Security (Incapacity Benefit) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/2946) (collectively known as “the Principal Regulations”). They also amend the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/207).
Regulations 2 to 4 amend the Principal Regulations to allow Pension Protection Fund (“PPF”) periodic payments to be included in the calculation of entitlement to benefit in the same way as pension payments are included.
Regulation 5 amends the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 to allow PPF payments or Financial Assistance Scheme (“FAS”) payments to be included in the calculation of entitlement to contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance in the same way as pension payments are included. It further provides for PPF payments or FAS payments to be disregarded where they are made to the survivor of a person entitled to such payments, in the same circumstances as pension payments would be.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities or the voluntary sector.
