There would be some changes to the EU Settlement Scheme if the UK leaves the EU without a deal, and further details are set out in the policy document. In particular, as there will be no agreed implementation period, the application deadline will be brought forward to 31 December 2020.
No action needs to be taken for now. The EU Settlement Scheme will be fully open by 30 March 2019.
Further information about the scheme can be found on GOV.UK - Settled and pre-settled status for EU citizens and their families.

EU Exit update from HMRC 11 December 2018
HMRC has published its latest letter on GOV.UK to help businesses that trade with the EU get ready to deal with customs in the unlikely event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal on 29 March 2019.
The update includes a version for businesses based in England, Scotland and Wales, and a separate version for businesses based in Northern Ireland.
Businesses that only trade in the EU and are registered with HMRC for VAT purposes will receive a copy of the letter through the post in the coming days.
The letter asks these businesses to take three actions now: • register for a UK Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number • decide whether they will use a customs agent to make import and/or export declarations or will make the declarations themselves using specialist software • contact the organisation that moves their goods (for example, a haulage firm) to find out if they will need to supply additional information to complete safety and security declarations, or whether they will need to submit these declarations themselves.
The letter also directs businesses to GOV.UK where businesses can find further information to help them get ready.
You can read guidance on how to prepare if the UK leaves the EU with no deal.
Businesses can keep up-to-date with these changes by registering for HMRC’s EU Exit update service.
HMRC will write to these businesses again to let them know what further actions they will need to take and when.
HMRC has also opened the grant scheme to help support training and IT improvements for customs intermediaries and traders that complete customs declarations. Further information on these grants, including details of how these businesses can apply, is available on GOV.UK.

Delivering the deal negotiated with the EU remains the Government’s top priority. This has not changed, however it has reached the point where it needs to accelerate and intensify these preparations.
