New SSP1 form issued
20 September 2022
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has updated the SSP1 form for September
The new form provides updated contact details for New Style Jobseeker’s Allowance and New Style Employment and Support Allowance. This will be required by employees where SSP cannot be paid and so it is important to issue the correct form.
What is an SSP1 form?
An SSP1 form is a document issued by an employer when an employee is not eligible for Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) or when their SSP is ending. It provides essential details about the employee’s SSP status, allowing them to apply for Universal Credit or Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) if they need financial support. Employers must issue an SSP1 form within seven days of the decision or before SSP entitlement ends to ensure a smooth transition to other benefits.
How can I get an SSP1 form?
It is best to get the SSP1 form directly from the government's website page when needed, so you can therefore be sure it is the most up to date version available.
