The Universal Credit (Coronavirus) (Restoration of the Minimum Income Floor) Regulations 2021

These Regulations provide for the further extension of three of the measures in regulation 2 of the Social Security (Coronavirus) (Further Measures) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/371). The measures relate to the minimum income floor (MIF) in regulation 62 of the Universal Credit Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/376), which assumes that claimants who are “in gainful self-employment” have a minimum level of earnings for the purpose of calculating universal credit.
