WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 22nd APRIL 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 29th APRIL 2024

Question

“Will the Minister advise whether consideration is being given to ending the Social Security Standards Earnings Limit (SEL), and if not, why not?”

Answer

As Minister, I have no plans to remove the SEL from the contributory system. Making such a consideration would require a full analysis to identify the benefits and risks, and I do not have the staff or financial resources available to undertake this work, as it has not been identified as a priority.
