Reseña del editor

In the November 1993 Budget the Government announced its intention to reform benefits for unemployed people. Subject to the passage of the necessary legislation, the jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) will be introduced in April 1996 to replace Unemployment Benefit and Income Support for unemployed people. This White Paper sets out: the aims in introducing JSA; how JSA will contribute to the Government's policies in the labour market; how JSA will be a better benefit for unemployed people; the details of the Government's proposals for the rules and conditions which will apply to JSA; and the improvements in service to unemployed people and what they must do to receive the allowance.
