The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme is open to any individual who was on an employer’s
PAYE payroll on or before 19 March 2020 and for whom HMRC received an RTI submission
notifying payment in respect of that employee on or before the 19 March 2020. Processing
claims for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme where HMRC do not have RTI data by
19 March would require much greater manual handling by HMRC, which would significantly
slow down the system while risking substantial levels of fraud. It would also require
greater resource for HMRC when they are already under significant pressure to deliver
the system designed. Those not eligible for the scheme may have access to other support
Government is providing, including a package of temporary welfare measures and up
to three months’ mortgage payment holidays for those struggling with their mortgage
payments.
