Explanatory Note
This note is not part of this notice, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
This notice identifies various specified amendments
for the purpose of the Social Security (Working for
Families—Transitional Supplement) Regulations 2004 (“the Regulations”).
Identification as specified amendments allows a transitional supplement to be paid under the Regulations to people
who are financially disadvantaged by the net effect of
the specified amendments that come into force on or before a specified date compared with their position immediately before that date. The next specified date in the Regulations is 1 April 2006.
No one is expected to be financially disadvantaged by these amendments but they are identified as specified amendments for cases where the assistance under them is taken into account as income for the purposes of other benefits or assistance under the Social Security Act 1964.
