What does the money from the National Insurance Contributions pay for (CHOOSE TWO)?
Correct Answers: State retirement pensions; National Health Service
Money from National Insurance Contributions (NICs) pays for the state retirement pension and the National Health Service (NHS). NICs are paid by employees, employers and self-employed people and are separate from income tax.
National Insurance also helps fund other contributory benefits such as Jobseeker's Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance and Maternity Allowance. NICs are compulsory for anyone earning above a set threshold, and your contribution record determines your entitlement to the state pension and certain benefits.
