- It allows claims for SEISS Extension Payments, which must be made between 14 July and 19 October 2020.
- The direction now includes the rules applying to those who would not otherwise have qualified for SEISS because their 2018-19 earnings had been affected by maternity, paternity, adoption leave or reserve forces duty.
- The deadline for claiming under the first round of grants is 13 July 2020.
- Claims for the second round of grants at the lower rate may be made in August with a deadline of 19 October 2020.
