National Insurance: Young People
(asked on 19th June 2019) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what support his Department provides to 16 year-olds who are unable to obtain employment because they had not received their National Insurance number.
This question was answered on 24th June 2019
Individuals, including 16 year olds, are able to start work or apprenticeships without a National Insurance number (NINo) and advise their employer of it once they receive it. Anyone who has not received their NINo letter and needs one, can contact HMRC’s helpline on 0300 200 3500 to arrange for one to be issued.
