For individuals with pending of the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) applications or appeals, a Certificate of Application (CoA) acts as proof of their temporary right to work in the UK. With a CoA, they can generate a share code to demonstrate eligibility for employment.
Key Points:
- Certificate of Application: Issued while EUSS applications or appeals are under consideration, confirming temporary rights under the Withdrawal Agreement.
- Share Code: Generated online and used to prove work eligibility to employers.
- Employer Checks: Employers must verify share codes via the government’s online system, confirm work eligibility, and avoid discrimination.
- Updates: Approved applications update the status to settled or pre-settled; refusals end temporary work rights.
This system allows individuals to work legally while awaiting EUSS decisions.
- If the individual’s EUSS application is approved: their share code will reflect their new status (settled or pre-settled).
- If the application or appeal is refused: their temporary rights will typically end, and their right to work will lapse. Employers will be notified if the individual’s right to work changes.
This process ensures that individuals awaiting decisions on their EUSS applications can continue working legally in the UK while their status is being finalised.
