New Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) guidance is now available on GOV.UK.
To check if you are eligible and to get ready to claim, go to GOV.UK and search 'Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme'.
You will be able to apply for CJRS online from Wednesday 11 November – for periods from 1 November.
You will need to submit any claims for November by 14 December.
What’s new in the support available
The launch of the Job Support Scheme has also been postponed.
What you need to do now:
Submit any claims for periods up to 31 October on or before 30 November.
Claims for periods up to 31 October will not be accepted after 30 November.
Claims are subject to eligibility and the rules in force at the time.
Search 'Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme' on GOV.UK for full eligibility criteria.
What you or your clients - if you are an agent - need to do for your claims – for periods from 1 November
Employers will need to keep the records that support the amount of CJRS grant they claim, in case HMRC need to check it. Employers and authorised agents can view, print or download copies of previously submitted claims by logging onto their CJRS service on GOV.UK.
Further support
Thousands of people have viewed, and benefited from, our live webinars which now offer more support on changes to CJRS, and how they affect you. To book online, or to view updated guidance, go to GOV.UK and search 'help and support if your business is affected by coronavirus'.
HMRC phone lines and webchat remain very busy, so the quickest way to find the support you need is on GOV.UK. This will leave HMRC's phone lines and webchat service open for those who need them most.
We hope this information helps you and your clients. We’ll continue to keep you updated on scheme developments over the coming weeks.
