Jobseeker's Allowance (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1999 c.3087

Jobseeker's Allowance (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1999 No. 3087

Summary:

These Regulations amend the Jobseeker's Allowance Regulations 1996.

Regulation 2 amends the definition of "training" in regulation 11 of the Jobseeker's Allowance Regulations to reflect the fact that training that was formerly provided by a Training and Enterprise Council may now in some cases be provided by a Chamber of Commerce, Training and Enterprise.

Regulation 3 treats as available for employment a person whose time for claiming a jobseeker's allowance has been extended in certain circumstances from the usual time (the first day of the period in respect of which the claim is made) by a direction of the Secretary of State. Those circumstances are that the claimant was previously in receipt of incapacity benefit or income support as a result of incapacity, that notification of expiry of that benefit was not sent to the claimant before the date that his entitlement expired, and that the claimant is available for employment (or is treated as such) on the day he claims a jobseeker's allowance.

Regulations 4 and 5 treat as actively seeking employment a person who is treated as available for employment under regulation 3, and a person who has recently been discharged from detention and is treated as available for employment under regulation 14(1)(h) of the Jobseeker's Allowance Regulations 1996.

Made Under:

Jobseekers Act 1995 (C. 18) - sections 6(2) and (4), 7(4), 35(1)[2] and 36(2)
