Universal Credit Take-Home Pay Thresholds
Created
The ESFA-funded AEB Funding Rules for 2022-23 state that people on Universal Credit with a take-home pay of £345 (single claim) or £552 (joint claim) fall within the unemployed category and are eligible for full funding.
The JCP has released new threshold amounts of £494 and £782 respectively effective 26 September 2022 but I can't seem to find these new figures in any of the ESFA documents.
Can anyone please advise whether we are supposed to use these new figures or stick with the old amounts to determine full funding eligibility?
