The Social Security (Claims and Payments) Amendment Regulations 2001
These Regulations provide for the Secretary of State to deduct an amount in respect of certain child support maintenance liabilities from certain social security benefits or war pensions awarded to a beneficiary who is a non-resident parent (or in some cases his partner) and pay it to the person with care. The relevant provisions of the Child Support Act come into force on different dates for different types of cases. Consequently the right to make deductions under these Regulations will take effect on different dates for different types of cases.
