联合王国计划把失业津贴合并为每周140.55英镑、有时间限制的计划,每年节省2-3B英镑,同时为弱势申请人提供保障。 UK plans to merge unemployment benefits into a £140.55/week, time-limited scheme saving £2–3B annually, with safeguards needed for vulnerable claimants.

联合王国政府正在考虑将求职者津贴和就业支助津贴合并为有时限的失业保险津贴,每年可能节省20亿英镑至30亿英镑。 The UK government is considering merging Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment Support Allowance into a time-limited unemployment insurance benefit, potentially saving £2 billion to £3 billion annually. 新的津贴将每周提供140.55英镑,比JSA目前的费率高,持续长达12个月,涵盖大部分失业,并符合欧洲标准。 The new benefit would offer £140.55 per week—higher than JSA’s current rate—and last up to 12 months, covering most job loss spells and aligning with European standards. 慈善组织旨在加强对向该系统捐款者的收入保护,但慈善组织警告这种改变,如果不认真执行,特别是如果他们在没有适当支助的情况下转入普遍信贷,则会对健康状况不佳的长期索偿者造成损害。 While aimed at strengthening income protection for those who have contributed to the system, charities warn the change could harm long-term claimants with health conditions if not carefully implemented, especially if they are moved to Universal Credit without proper support. 工作和养恤金部已就该提案发起协商,专家们敦促采取保障措施,在过渡期间保护弱势个人。 The Department for Work and Pensions has launched a consultation on the proposal, with experts urging safeguards to protect vulnerable individuals during the transition.
