This was amended in 2014:
(7) A person may not retain the status of a worker pursuant to paragraph (2)(b), or jobseeker pursuant to paragraph (1)(a), for longer than six months unless he can provide compelling evidence that he is continuing to seek employment and has a genuine chance of being engaged.”
IMHO it is yet to be seen how they would interpret the amendment.
But don't quote me on that; I'm in the same boat as the OP.

In 2014 the UK changed their defination of what a worker is, which now requires EU citizens to earn a minimum earnings threshold so that they pay their weekly NICs.

With this in mind, to me your quote reads that if they are not earning the MET then they are not a worker qualified person and they can't be a jobseeker qualified person (with proof they were looking for work) for longer than 6 months.

On closer analysis, that seems to be a specifically DWP rule that applies to specific benefits and may not apply to Home Office matters such as acquisition of PR.

If you are actually talking about your RC that is not a visa.
You will not be 'illegal' when the card expiry is reached (because it's not a visa).

Your status (rights & residency) in UK depends on your husband continuing to exercise treaty rights in UK as a qualified person (for example. as a worker);
- for as long as you are married you are his dependent family member.

A RC does not grant your status in UK it simply confirms it for anyone who wants to know.

If you need a RC (for example to show to an employer) you can apply for another one next year but it is optional to hold a RC.

Hope that can reassure you.
