The Social Fund Maternity and Funeral Expenses (General) Regulations 2005
These Regulations revoke and replace, with a few minor changes, the Social Fund Maternity and Funeral Expenses (General) Regulations 1987 and provisions amending those Regulations. They make provisions under section 138(1)(a) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 for payments to be made out of the social fund to meet maternity expenses and funeral expenses (referred to in the Regulations as “ Sure Start Maternity Grants ” and “funeral payments” respectively).
