The EU Settlement Scheme has been designed to make it simple and straightforward for resident EU citizens, and their family members, to obtain UK immigration status. Applicants only need to complete three key steps: prove their identity and nationality, demonstrate their UK residence and declare any criminal convictions. They are not required to be in employment, self-sufficient or otherwise exercising Treaty rights under EU law.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4009", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Great Yarmouth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Brandon Lewis"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-09-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-09-30T16:13:52.353Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-09-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Immigration: EU Nationals"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take steps to extend the eligibility for settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme for EU citizens who have been in the UK for many years and can financially sustain themselves but do not work.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/483", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Maria Eagle"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Garston and Halewood"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Maria Eagle"} ], "uin" : "290692"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1045907", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1045907/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The EU Settlement Scheme opened on a trial basis at the end of August and the second phase of live testing ended on 21 December. In light of the positive progress, we have commenced a wider public beta phase on 21 January.<\/p>
Over the two private beta test phases, over 30,000 applications have been re-ceived and more than 90% of those individuals have already been successfully processed through the scheme and granted status under it. We have published separate reports on both private beta test phases setting out further details of the outcomes. The reports can be found here:<\/p>
