The Universal Credit (Coronavirus) (Restoration of the Minimum Income Floor) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2021
These Regulations provide for the further extension of three of the measures in regulation 2 of the Social Security (Coronavirus) (Further Measures) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020 (S.R. 2020 No. 53). The measures relate to the minimum income floor (MIF) in regulation 63 of the Universal Credit Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 (S.R. 2016 No. 216), which assumes that claimants who are “in gainful self-employment” have a minimum level of earnings for the purposes of calculating universal credit.
