The Social Security (Credits) Amendment Regulations 1995
These Regulations further amend the Social Security (Credits) Regulations 1975 by inserting a new regulation 7C. This applies for the purposes of entitlement to a Category A or, B retirement pension, widowed mother’s allowance or widow’s pension and provides for a person to be credited with earnings equal to the lower earnings limit in respect of weeks for which family credit is paid to him. Provision is made, in a case where family credit is paid to one of a married or unmarried couple, as to which member of the couple is to be credited with earnings.
