answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2021 answer text <p>The Department is aware of the effect that not having a National Insurance Number (NINo) may be having on some individuals. However, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs’ <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/what-payroll-information-to-report-to-hmrc" target="_blank">employer checklist</a> makes it clear that a NINo is not required to start work.</p><p>Individuals seeking work in the UK can start work before they receive a NINo as long as they are able to prove they have the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/check-job-applicant-right-to-work" target="_blank">Right to Work</a> in the UK.</p><p>The Department started testing a partial digital solution, on a small scale, in mid-October, to support the allocation of National Insurance Numbers. This solution enables the collection of an applicant’s data, but not the online verification of their identity. Alternative identity verification solutions to reduce the need for a face to face identity check for some customer groups, including EU nationals with Settled or Pre-Settled status, was part of that test.</p><p> </p><p>In January, we gained Government Digital Service approval as a result we were no longer required to limit the number of applicants we can serve, although we do not have an identity solution for all potential applicants yet. Our current plan is that by the end of March 2021 we will be able to offer a service to all applicants who do not require their identity to be verified face to face.</p><p> </p><p>This means that we have moved from a position in March 2020 of only offering a NINo service to the most vulnerable, to a place where we are able to provide a service to the majority.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 01/03/2021 14:02:04 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2018 answer text <p>Checking your National Insurance record regularly is very important and the Government has designed services and supporting communications to make this as easy for people as possible. Our online service, Check your State Pension (CySP), is key in supporting the communication campaign. This service provides a State Pension forecast (based on the individual’s current National Insurance record and an assumption that future years count towards their State Pension), and the earliest date the individual can get their State Pension. Users can look at their National Insurance record, where they will also find out how many qualifying years they have and any gaps in their contributions.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has carried out a comprehensive communication campaign to bring the new State Pension and the role of people’s National Insurance records to people’s attention. This has been through advertisements in newspapers, on social media and on radio stations across the country as well as working through Stakeholders to raise public awareness of the changes. There is also a significant package of on-line information about the State Pension at <a href="http://www.gov.uk" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Between April 2000 and the end of April 2018, the Department provided more than 22 million personalised State Pension statements to people who requested them (either online or by telephone or post, and based on both old and new State Pension rules). We continue to encourage people to request a personalised State Pension Statement as part of our on-going communications.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 22/10/2018 16:02:35 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/05/2016 answer text <p>The introduction of the new State Pension means that contracting-out of the additional State Pension ended on 5 April 2016. This changed National Insurance contributions for people in Defined Benefit pension schemes who were previously contracted-out, as these employees paid a lower rate of National Insurance in exchange for contributing towards a workplace pension. These changes have been a part of our significant communications effort around the new State Pension.</p><p> </p><p>Proposals to end contracting-out were first published in a 2011 Green Paper “A State Pension for the 21<sup>st</sup> century” and then in a January 2013 White Paper “The single-tier pension: a simple foundation for saving”. Proposals went through consultation with employers, pension schemes and their representatives before the Pensions Act was passed in 2014.</p><p><em> </em></p><p>In November 2014, we launched a public information campaign “Know the Facts” which included specific contracting-out press advertorials, blogs, fact sheets and digital communications. Our new State Pension resource pack has been issued to over 350 organisations and many more employers, to help support them explain the changes to their members and staff, including the change in contracting-out status for their workplace pensions.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 11/05/2016 14:55:28 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
