<p>Over 400,000 EU Citizens have applied to the Scheme so far.</p><p>An estimated
3.4m EEA nationals currently resident in the UK are eligible for the EU Settlement
Scheme (based on Home Office internal analysis of ONS Annual Population Survey (APS)
data for year October 2017 to September 2018).</p><p>The Impact Assessment for the
EU Settlement Scheme was published in July 2018<br> (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2018/116/pdfs/ukia_20180116_en.pdf
)<br> <br>and an updated version was published in March 2019 <br>(http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2019/74/pdfs/ukia_20190074_en.pdf).</p><p>The
Home Office has estimated that the total number of EEA citizens and their family members
eligible to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme by the end of the planned implementation
period on 31 December 2020 is likely to be between 3.5 million and 4.1 million. This
estimate is based on a number of assumptions as to how the size of the eligible EEA
population will change over the period. The range should be considered indicative
as future migration flows can be affected by many factors and are difficult to predict.</p><p>Two
reports on the private testing phases have already been published (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-1
and <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-2/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-testing-phase-2-report)"
