answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2020 answer text <p>On 15 April, the Government announced it would extend the cut-off date for the CJRS to 19 March, to include employees whose payroll information was notified to HMRC by 19 March. Processing claims for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme in cases where HMRC did 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 be able to access the 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.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 37431 37460 37461 37797 37806 38001 question first answered 28/04/2020 16:26:41 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
