Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination Act 2020

The Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination (EU Withdrawal) Act 2020 is UK legislation that adjusted rules following Brexit. It clarified how immigration status interacts with social security rights for EU and non-EU nationals, ensuring fair treatment after the UK's departure from the EU. The Act mainly removed certain previous EU social security agreements and established new UK-specific rules, aiming to protect individuals' rights while aligning immigration and social security policies post-Brexit. It ensures that people's entitlements are clear and consistent, regardless of their nationality or immigration status.
