Provide me a general explanation …

The EU Settlement Scheme is a scheme of the UK Government to help EU citizens and their families to gain rights to stay in the UK. It enables those already living in the UK to protect their rights after the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.

The scheme allows EU citizens and their family members to be able to continue living, working and studying in the UK. Those who are eligible can apply for either ‘settled’ or ‘pre-settled’ status, depending on their length of residence in the UK. Individuals with settled status would be able to remain in the UK indefinitely and would also be able to access public funds, such as benefits and pensions, after five years. To qualify for the scheme, individuals need to have resided in the UK for a continuous period of five years. Settled Status can also be applied for by those who have lived in the UK for a continuous period of less than five years, but who have permanent residence documentation. To apply for pre-settled status, individuals must have resided in the United Kingdom for less than five years.
