Eligible claimants will agree to a new commitment at their next scheduled meeting with their Work Coach.
The Department for Work and Pensions has announced thousands of parents - also referred to as lead carers - claiming Universal Credit will see new changes starting today which aim to help improve their chances of finding a job or increasing their working hours. From October 25, parents of three to 12-year-olds will agree with their Work Coach to spend more time in work or applying for jobs, up to a maximum of 30 hours a week.
DWP said eligible parents who increase their working hours are now also receiving up to 85 per cent of their upfront childcare costs back before their next month’s bills are due, helping them cover costs one month in advance going forward. Prior to these changes many low-income families struggled with upfront childcare bills, making it harder for them to move into work.
Top Money Stories Today Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Mel Stride MP said: “We are pulling down barriers that stop parents working and fulfilling their potential, because we know full time work not only benefits mum and dad but the whole family too. Almost half of non-working mothers also say if they could arrange good quality childcare they would prefer to be employed, according to a Department for Education childcare and early years survey.DWP said all activity is designed to prepare parents to increase their likelihood of getting a job or increasing their hours.
