Job Grant consultation: response
Scottish Government response to points raised in the consultation on Job Grant, a new benefit to support young people moving into employment.
Implementation and monitoring
It is intended that the Job Start Payment will be launched in spring 2020. Once Job Start Payments are being made we will, as with other benefits, seek to make ongoing improvements based on the feedback of applicants.
We will collate management information to monitor uptake and the characteristics of recipients and will undertake qualitative research to test whether Job Start Payment is meeting its policy intentions. This will inform any future consideration of variations to policy or delivery arrangements.
