answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2015 answer text <p>All Universal Credit claims - whether relating to the employed, self-employed or unemployed - which are successfully made are then registered on HMRC systems. Any PAYE reported in real time by employers in respect of these is then passed to Universal Credit systems. The majority of employed Universal Credit claimants will have their earnings reported via PAYE, and over 99% of all such employments are now being reported in real-time. For the minority whose earnings are not reported through PAYE (for example the self-employed) we have developed processes to ensure they can self-report their earnings.</p> answering member constituency Forest of Dean answering member printed Mr Mark Harper question first answered 03/03/2015 17:16:20 answering member 1520 label Biography information for Mr Mark Harper
