(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Child Benefit (General) Regulations 1976 in order to provide that section 13(1A) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 ("the Act") (as inserted by section 69 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999) shall not apply to claims for child benefit made in respect of children in the care of voluntary organisations (regulation 2).
In addition, these Regulations further amend the Social Security (Guardian's Allowances) Regulations 1975 in order to remove the exemption from the requirement to state a national insurance number when claiming Guardian's Allowance (regulation 3). The exemption existed because payment of Guardian's Allowance is dependent upon receipt of Child Benefit and, prior to the coming into force of section 13(1A) of the Act, there was no requirement to state, or apply for, a national insurance number when claiming Child Benefit.
These Regulations are made before the end of six months beginning with the coming into force of section 69 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999; they are accordingly exempt from referral to the Social Security Advisory Committee under section 173(5)(b) of the Act and have not been so referred.
These Regulations do not impose any costs on business.
1992 c. 5; subsection (1A) to (1C) of section 13 were inserted by section 69 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999; section 191 is an interpretation provision and is cited for the definition of "prescribe".
See section 173(5)(b) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992.
Regulation 1A was inserted by S.I. 1997/2676, regulation 7.
