Public funds with residence card

Dear members,

I would have a question regarding public funds. My husband holds an EEA family member resident card that will expire in 2017. I would just like to know if he is allowed to claim public funds as he applied for a governmental scheme to start up his business where he would receive a loan that he pays back in instalments. I was just wondering if he is eligible to receive public funds. We are both working, and do not receive other kind of benefits. If it is possible, could you post a related section from UKBA as we could not find one on the website that would clarify it completely.

Kind Regards,

szandi1990

If you are working / exercising treaty right in the UK he can claim any benefit or public fund without effecting his right of residence in the UK

What is the loan/grant name. Also depends who will grant the loan.
