90-minute webinar, Tuesday 15th April, 11am – 12:30pm

Overview

The minimum income floor (MIF) affects some universal credit claimants who are self-employed, but the rules can be complex. If the minimum income floor applies, you may be treated as earning a certain amount even if you don’t actually earn that amount. 

This webinar looks at the minimum income floor and how we can help people on a low income maximise their universal credit entitlement when working in self-employment.

  • How the minimum income floor works
  • What is ‘gainful self-employment’?

  • How to work out the minimum income floor
  • The minimum income floor and couples
  • The minimum income floor and carried forward losses
