Jobseeker's Allowance (Jobseeker Mandatory Activity) Pilot Regulations 2005 No. 3466

Summary:

These Regulations introduce the Jobseeker Mandatory Activity Pilot made under the pilot-making power in section 29 of the Jobseekers Act 1995 (c.18).
The Jobseeker Mandatory Activity Pilot is an employment programme which consists of a three-day course followed by three further follow-up interviews. Any claimant who falls within the criteria specified in regulation 3(2) is required to attend this programme.
Regulation 3(1)(a) amends regulation 69 of the Jobseeker's Allowance Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/207) so that any person who fails to take part in or attend any part of the pilot may be sanctioned for one week for each failure to attend. Regulation 3(3) provides that a person ceases to be required to attend the programme if he changes address and is required to attend an office of the Department for Work and Pensions which is not in the pilot areas. Regulation 3(4) provides that regulation 3(3) should not affect a sanction imposed on a person before he changed address.
The pilot areas are set out in the Schedule to these Regulations.

Made Under:

Jobseekers Act 1995 (C. 18) - sections 19(10)(c), 29(1) and (3), 35(1) and 36(2) and (4)
