The Department for Communities has made a Statutory Rule entitled “The Employment and Support Allowance and Universal Credit (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2021” (S.R. 2021 No. 285), which comes into operation on 12 November 2021.
These Regulations amend the Employment and Support Allowance and Universal Credit (Coronavirus) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020.
The amendments extend the expiry date of the Employment and Support Allowance and Universal Credit (Coronavirus) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020 (S.R. 2020 No. 33) so that they now expire on 22nd March 2022. Extending the expiry date within these provisions ensures that continued support is provided to those affected by COVID-19.
