Remove savings limit on Universal Credit for employees ineligible for JSS

Petition Details

Change access criteria to universal credit for people that remain employed in industries crippled by Covid-19 (e.g. arts, travel, tourism and aviation)

Additional Information

The new Job Support Scheme (JSS) doesn’t offer financial support when there are no available work hours. Currently people are ineligible if they hold a certain amount of savings but a temporary change of eligibility would avoid the need to use hard earned future savings and investments during the downturn.
