Section 14 amends the conditions for receipt of supplementary welfare allowance in certain cases to align them with the entitlement conditions that apply to unemployment assistance. Under current legislation, a health board may require an applicant for supplementary welfare allowance to register for employment by signing on for unemployment assistance. The purpose of this provision is to require a person in such circumstances to seek work while receiving the allowance, pending finalisation of the claim for unemployment assistance. The proposal gives health boards the power to require a person to comply with the conditions – being capable of work, available for employment and genuinely seeking employment – that apply to persons in receipt of unemployment assistance.
