Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 12 May 2020 to Question 43961, by what means holders of National Insurance numbers will be made aware that funds have been disbursed to an employer in response to a claim submitted under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme quoting that number; and what the timescale is for that notification.

HMRC will not contact individual employees in respect of CJRS claims; if an individual employee has a query in respect of a claim, they should direct this query to their employer.

If an employee is concerned that their employer could be abusing the scheme, they should make a report using the Report Fraud to HMRC iForm on GOV.UK; a link to this iForm is included in the CJRS employee guidance on GOV.UK.
