Welcome to the Independent Monitoring Authority for the Citizens’ Rights Agreements

We protect the rights of EU and EEA EFTA citizens, and their family members, in the UK and Gibraltar. We do this by monitoring UK public bodies to make sure they implement the rights of these citizens and by identifying any underlying issues. We are independent of government and are professional and impartial in our work.

The differences between PSS and SS

Details on the differences between pre-settled status and settled status can be found in our fact sheet, including eligibility, how long your status lasts, absences, and access to benefits.

Complaints

The complaints submitted to us help build a picture of where there are common, wide-reaching, or systemic issues with how UK public bodies are implementing the Withdrawal Agreement(s) for EU and EEA EFTA citizens’ rights.
