answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>For all eligibility decisions under CJRS, the Government must balance the need to support as many jobs as possible with the need to protect the scheme from fraud.</p><p> </p><p>Under the CJRS extension, an employer can claim for employees who were employed and on their PAYE payroll on 30 October 2020. The employer must have made a PAYE Real Time Information (RTI) submission to HMRC between 20 March 2020 and 30 October 2020, notifying a payment of earnings for that employee. The use of RTI allows HMRC to verify claims in the most efficient and timely way, ensuring payments can be made quickly while reducing the risk of fraud. Without the use of RTI returns it would be difficult to verify claims without significant additional checks, which would delay payment for genuine claims.</p><p> </p><p>The 30 October 2020 cut-off date allowed as many people as possible to be included by going right up to the day before the announcement, while balancing the risk of fraud that existed as soon as the scheme became public. Extending the cut-off date further would have significantly increased the risk of abuse because claims could not be confidently verified against the risk of fraud by using the data after this point.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 133935 134113 134176 question first answered 11/01/2021 17:11:15 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2020 answer text <p>The Chancellor of the Exchequer has said there will be no further extensions or changes to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS). After eight months of the CJRS, the scheme will close at the end of October.</p><p>The introduction of flexible furloughing further ensures that firms can adjust how they furlough to match their speed of reopening. Firms will be able to claim under the CJRS until October flexibly.</p><p>It would be challenging to target the CJRS to specific sectors in a fair and deliverable way, and it may not be the case that this is the most effective or sensible way to provide longer term support for those sectors who may not yet be reopening.</p><p>The Government will continue to engage with businesses and sectors with the aim of ensuring that support provided is right for those sectors and for the economy as a whole.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 81783 question first answered 08/09/2020 15:23:25 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme of supporting beyond October 2020 people (a) who have been advised by their doctor to stay at home and (b) whose workplace is not covid-19-safe.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2020 answer text <p>After eight months of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), the scheme will close in October 2020. The CJRS must be temporary and the Government must ensure that people can get back to work when it is safe to do so and get the UK economy up and running again. As the economy re-opens, the Government must look at how to adjust support in a way that ensures people can get back to work, protecting both the UK economy and livelihoods.</p><p> </p><p>From 1 August the Government will further relax advice to the Clinically Extremely Vulnerable, bringing it in line with the advice to those who are clinically vulnerable. In broad terms, this means that although the advice is still to stay at home as much as possible, those shielding may wish to go out to more places and see more people, as long as they take particular care to minimise contact with others outside their household and follow hygiene measures. This means that if they are unable to work from home but can work on site, they should do so, provided the business is COVID-safe. If employers cannot provide a safe working environment, the Clinically Extremely Vulnerable will continue to have access to an unprecedented package of financial support. This support is not limited to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, but also includes the Self Employment Income Support Scheme and an increase in the generosity of welfare payments worth a further £8bn.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/07/2020 13:08:13 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
