| Description: | The Departments Conditionality Package supports a core principle that underpins the Governments welfare reform policies: increasing what is required of claimants in exchange for benefits, and strengthening how the Department monitors compliance with that increased conditionality. The following conditionality and compliance measures make up the package: 1. Day One Conditionality claimants are required to demonstrate positive job seeking behaviours from day one of their claim by ensuring they have an e-mail address, high quality CV and are registered with Universal Jobmatch. 2. Weekly Work Search Reviews 50 per cent of pre-Work Programme Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) claimants and Universal Credit (UC) claimants are subject to intensive work search requirements. 3. Quarterly Work Search Interviews pre-Work Programme claimants in receipt of JSA, and UC claimants subject to intensive work search requirements, are required to attend a 20 minute advisory interview every 13 weeks. 4. English Language Requirements claimants being screened to see if they can communicate in English (very basic speaking skills) and, as necessary, mandated to an assessment and English Language training. 5. Increasing Lone Parent Conditionality for certain groups of lone parents aged 18 and over and nominated carers. |
