dc.description.abstract | Since March 2017, a new income-related housing support for those with a long-term housing need called Housing
Assistance Payment (HAP) has been available throughout the state. This paper examines the potential impact on financial work
incentives of transferring long-run Rent Supplement recipients onto HAP with tenants’ rental contributions assessed through a
national Differential Rents scheme, initially proposed by the Housing Agency but yet to be implemented. While such a system
would strengthen the financial incentive for most long-term Rent Supplement claimants to be in full-time paid work, a small
minority would continue to face quite weak incentives. This is driven by the receipt of multiple means-tested benefits – in
particular, jobseekers allowance and one-parent family payment – which results in some low-income individuals facing very
high effective marginal tax rates from relatively low levels of earnings. | en |
