The Child Benefit, Tax Credits and Childcare Payments (Section 67 Immigration Act 2016 Leave) (Amendment) Regulations 2018
Section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 (c. 19) creates a new category of leave (“section 67 leave”) under which individuals may be relocated to the United Kingdom and permitted to remain in the United Kingdom. The Immigration Rules made under section 3(2) of the Immigration Act 1971 (c. 77) have been changed to provide for this section 67 leave. The new rules were presented to the House of Commons on 15th June 2018. These Regulations will give individuals who have been granted section 67 leave under that section access to Child Benefit, tax credits and the childcare payment scheme as is the case with individuals with Refugee status, providing that they meet the eligibility criteria in relation to these schemes or benefits.
