Fraud and Error Reduction Incentive Scheme 2016/17 Funding Introduction 1. This circular sets out the arrangements for distributing the 2016/17 Fraud and Error

Reduction Incentive Scheme (FERIS) Maintenance Fund to local authorities (LAs) and the application process for the Maintenance Fund. We will provide more detail on FERIS 2017/18 in due course.

Background 2. We confirmed on 25 November 2015 that DWP will be extending FERIS for a further

two years. This continued funding will be made available to LAs through FERIS in order to continue to reduce Fraud and Error (F&E) in the Housing Benefit (HB) caseload during 2016/17, 2017/18 and beyond.

3. The following information is set out on the FERIS webpage: • HB Circular – Extension of FERIS into 2016/17 • FERIS Good Practice Guide.

Maintenance Fund 4. The Maintenance Fund, totalling £10 million in 2016/17, aims to provide LAs with

funding to maintain activities, or to put in place new activities, in order to meet the FERIS thresholds. Each LA will be allocated a set amount in proportion to their estimated 2016/17 HB administration grant. The maximum amount of Maintenance Fund available for all LAs has increased by approximately 30% in comparison to the 2015/16 Scheme. Additional funding will be made available to London LAs to support the requirement for additional F&E activities there.

5. Maintenance Fund Q&A and criteria is set out at Annex A. Each LA’s potential Maintenance Fund payment is detailed at Annex B. Applications should be made to DWP by 29 February 2016. Completed applications received by DWP with all requisite information will receive a decision by 31 March 2016.

6. DWP consulted with LA representatives and agreed that the 2016/17 Maintenance Fund payment will be made in one lump sum.

Thresholds 7. Thresholds for 2016/17 are based on Caseload Management Information (CMI),

where each LA will be placed in one of six groups and are based on previous F&E performance with group one being the best performers, group two the second best and so on. LAs have been notified of their group in the Scheme launch letter.

8. There are 10 incremental steps in the Scheme thresholds for 2016/17 and full details of this can be found in circular HB A2/2016.

Annex A Maintenance Fund Application Q&A Q1. What is the Maintenance Fund? A1. The Maintenance Fund is designed to assist LAs in getting initiatives and improvements in place to support their ability to achieve FERIS thresholds. Q2. How do we apply for the Maintenance Fund? A2. Applications are requested prior to the start of the Scheme on 1 April 2016 and early applications will allow Maintenance Fund payments to be made before this date. Q3. What types of activities will receive Maintenance Funding? A3. The Maintenance Fund aims to provide LAs with funding to help them to quickly get projects off the ground that will help them meet the FERIS thresholds. Funding requests may be for the continuation of initiatives or processes already brought in during the 2015/16 Scheme. Examples are provided below, but each application will be assessed on its merits in line with the criteria and this list is, by no means, exhaustive: • recruitment, secondment or retention of experienced HB assessors to support additional

intervention activities • targeted campaigns / publicity drives to encourage claimants to report changes of

circumstances promptly: - leaflets in customer new financial year benefit letters - posters - webpages - twitter/Facebook - surgeries in other council departments - local media awareness

• improved customer statements/decision notices • introduction of e-forms for improved customer notification of changes • establish internal data matching e.g. electoral role, taxi licencing, leisure membership • internal IT infrastructure improvements, e.g. dual screen, telephones, office equipment,

review/improve scripts for automated telephony services • stationery, postal costs (i.e. for advertising) • to identify cases of suspected irregularity that do not meet Single Fraud Investigation

Service criteria for investigation • focus on quality checks (to identify potential to increase reported changes) • encourage linked council services to consider benefit claims (encouraging claimant

reporting changes of circumstances) e.g. housing, social services • joint working with external services to identify discrepancies e.g. Experian, Registered

Social Landlords, NHS, housing associations, to identify discrepancies • Risk Based Verification/also known as the Partial Intervention Model, especially around

where the customer: - Is in work but no income change in 52+ weeks - receives occupational/private pension and no change reported for 52+ weeks

HB Circular S2/2016

Subsidy circular February 2016

- has a non-dependent deduction but no recent changes reported - has 2 or more jobs or zero hours employment - has £12,500-£16,000+ capital - passported cases - reviewing new claims within 3 months of HB award

• additional software from LA IT Suppliers, particularly around identifying and communicating with high risk claimant groups

• electronic customer reminder activities including nudge technologies, e.g. automated SMS or e-mails with links to on-line forms

• targeted reviews. Q4. Can Maintenance Funding be used to cover costs of existing staff carrying out business as usual activities? A4. No. Applications are being assessed to ensure that the funding is being used to meet an additional cost to the HB Service. In the case of staffing resources this can be against such costs as arise from new staff, temp/agency workers, overtime or for back filling of posts from which more experienced staff have been released to work on activities to help authorities meet their FERIS thresholds, etc. Q5. When should LAs spend the Maintenance Fund? A5. LAs are expected to spend their Maintenance Funding in 2016/17. LAs should make every effort to comply with the spending assumptions they submit with their applications. Q6. Should Maintenance Funding applications focus on activities targeted at new claims, and in-claims? A6. FERIS is focused on LAs identifying more changes and reductions in the HB caseload, therefore the F&E reduction plan activities should focus on in-claims (rather than new claims or point of claim) as that is where the majority of changes occur.
