UK benefits to be accessible to EU immigrants earning €180 per week
Published time: February 19, 2014 20:45
The British government plans to implement a new requirement for EU immigrants before they can claim benefits: they must prove they have been earning at least £149 (€180) a week for three months. Brussels says the requirement is not compatible with EU law.
The plans, which were reaffirmed by Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, will come into force on March 1.
"These reforms will ensure we have a fair system - one which provides support for genuine workers and job seekers, but does not allow people to come to our country and take advantage of our benefits system,” Smith said.
Those who do not meet the threshold will have to undergo a fuller assessment on whether the work they are doing is "genuine and effective,” he added. They will also have to wait a further three months before becoming eligible for Jobseekers' Allowance or claiming housing benefits.
