Social Security (Updating of EU References) (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2018 |
17/10/18 |
Benefits and Pensions |
These instruments update out-of-date cross-references to European Union (˜EU') legislation, and ensure that cross-references to EU legislation are up to date on exit day before the European Communities Act 1972 is repealed by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. These updates will ensure these cross references then point to the retained version of the EU law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. This updating of cross references ensures the UK fulfils its current duty of sincere cooperation, and also ensures that retained EU law functions correctly following the UK's exit from the European Union. |

Benefits and Pensions |
This instrument ensures that, aside from some specific savings provisions, the EU Social Security Co-ordination Regulations (SSC Regulations) which are retained on a unilateral basis under section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA) will not take effect in domestic law from the end of the transition period in areas of DWP and HMT policy. It also revokes the four statutory instruments which have been made to fix the deficiencies that would arise in the areas of DWP and HMT policy from the unilateral operation of the retained SSC Regulations, to the extent that they are no longer required. This instrument also has the effect of bringing forward the day on which amendments will be made to the Social Security Administration Act (SSAA) 1992 and the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) (SSAA(NI)) Act 1992 for the purpose of implementing, and giving effect to, reciprocal agreements with international organisations covering social security. These amendments were originally due to be made by SI No. 2019/128 and SI No. 2019/129 and were due to come into effect on IP Completion Day. However, these amendments will now be effective from the day after this instrument is made. |
