  "short_title": "Universal Credit (Administrative Earnings Threshold) 2024",
  "long_title": "These Regulations amend regulation 97 of the Universal Credit Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 (S.R. 2016 No. 216), which sets out the circumstances in which work search and work availability requirements must not be imposed on a universal credit claimant. Regulation 2 amends paragraph (14) of regulation 97 so that work search and work availability requirements must not be imposed where a claimant has monthly earnings from employment that are equal to, or more than, 18 hours per week at the national minimum wage as set out in regulation 4 of the National Minimum Wage Regulations 2015 (“the national living wage rate”) or, where the claimant is a member of a couple, their combined earnings from employment are equal to, or more than, 29 hours per week at the national living wage rate, in both cases converted to a monthly amount by multiplying by 52 and dividing by 12.",
