New regulations which come into force on 30 January 2023 mean more than 120,000 working people on Universal Credit across Great Britain will receive a job support boost this spring.
The Administrative Earnings Threshold determines which group a Universal Credit claimant is placed in based on how much they earn. This in turn impacts the level of support they receive to find work and develop a career, and the types of activities they must undertake, such as searching for opportunities to take up more or better-paid work or researching new career options.
