1992/336 1995/309 1997/34 1997/311 61 Explanatory note Student Allowances Regulations 1998 Reprinted as at 29 August 2008 Explanatory note This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 1 October 1998, facili­ tate the transfer of responsibility for the administration of student allowances from the Ministry of Education to the new department responsible for employment services and income support.
There are a number of changes made by the regulations to the administration of student allowances, which are designed to align the administration of these allowances more closely with the administration of beneﬁts under the Social Security Act 1964.

Other changes include a change in the maximum period of entitlement to the basic grant, independent circumstances grant, and accommodation beneﬁt for the purposes of study at a tertiary education institution from a period of 5 academic years to 200 weeks.
The regulations also make changes to payment arrangements to en­ able ﬂexibility in the payment cycle for student allowances.

The new department will be responsible for processing applications for stu­ dent allowances rather than tertiary education institutions.

Rates of payment are now to be prescribed in the regulations rather than in a notice published by the Minister of Education in the Gazette.

Regulation 2 contains deﬁnitions.


Amongst other changes there are new deﬁnitions of personal income and spousal income.

Regulation 3 continues the existing allowances established by the Student Allowances Regulations 1991.

These allowances are the basic grant, the independent circumstances grant, the accommoda­ tion beneﬁt, the A­Bursary, and the B­Bursary.
Regulation 4 requires every single student under 25 without a sup­ ported child or children who applies for a basic grant or accommo­ dation beneﬁt to have the student’s parental income assessed.

That assessment is used to determine eligibility for and the appropriate rate of payment of the allowances.
Regulation 5 enables the parental income of any student to be re­ assessed in any year during the student’s course of study if that in­ come decreases by a percentage or amount in relation to that income which is speciﬁed in Schedule 1.
Regulation 6 requires every student who applies for a basic grant or accommodation beneﬁt who has an earning spouse to have the 62 Reprinted as at 29 August 2008 Student Allowances Regulations 1998 Explanatory note spouse’s income assessed That assessment is used to determine eli­ gibility for and the appropriate rate of payment of the allowance.

Regulations 7 to 11 set out criteria governing the eligibility of stu­ dents for different types of allowances.
These criteria are similar to those applicable under the Student Allowances Regulations 1991.

The regulations clarify that there are 2 categories of students now eligible for an independent circumstances grant without having to establish that it would be unreasonable to live in a parental home or receive ﬁnancial assistance from any parent.
First, students who have been legally married or in a relationship in the nature of mar­ riage with a supported child or supported children who are living apart and not with their parents, and who are not receiving ﬁnancial assistance from their parents, are now, depending on their age, and the course of study being undertaken, eligible for an independent cir­ cumstances grant.
Secondly, students who are 18 or older, have been living away from home for at least 2 years, have been in full­time em­ ployment during most of that period, and are not receiving ﬁnancial assistance from any parent, are also now eligible for an independent circumstances grant.

Regulation 12 sets out general criteria governing the eligibility of students for a student allowance.
The main change to the present position is that in order to qualify for 1 of the allowances students who are not citizens or refugees are now required to have resided in this country for a period of 2 years, in addition to having the right to reside in New Zealand indeﬁnitely.

At present persons who are citizens or have a right to permanent residence may be awarded an allowance.
Regulation 13 provides that students are not eligible for certain al­ lowances while a student or student’s spouse receives a number of beneﬁts under the Social Security Act 1964.

Regulation 14 places restrictions on the receipt of a basic grant, inde­ pendent circumstances grant, or accommodation beneﬁt if the student is in receipt of other government study assistance.
Regulation 15 sets out rules governing the eligibility of a student for a basic grant, accommodation grant, or independent circumstances grant, where the student changes courses.

Regulation 16 imposes a new requirement.


It provides that a student continues to be eligible for a basic grant, independent circumstances 63 Explanatory note Student Allowances Regulations 1998 Reprinted as at 29 August 2008 grant, or accommodation beneﬁt only if the student makes a written statement to the chief executive in the form speciﬁed by the chief executive.

That form may include information relevant to the con­ tinuation of an allowance or its rate or method of payment.
Regulation 17 sets out rules governing the continued eligibility of a student for certain allowances where the student has undertaken a reduced amount of course work.

Regulation 18 provides that the rates at which the basic grant, in­ dependent circumstances grant, A­Bursary, and B­Bursary are to be paid are the amounts set out in Schedule 3.

The appropriate amount for the accommodation beneﬁt is the amount determined in accord­ ance with regulation 24 and Schedule 3.
No allowances are payable to any student unless the aggregate value of those allowances is $2 or more.

Regulation 19 provides that the payment of a basic grant, independ­ ent circumstances grant, or accommodation beneﬁt is to be made by instalments of such number of weeks’ allowance as the chief execu­ tive from time to time determines.

Payment of any allowance must be made by payment into a bank account nominated by the student.
Regulation 20 provides that, with certain exceptions, the maximum period during which a person may receive a basic grant, independ­ ent circumstances grant, or accommodation beneﬁt for the purposes of study at a tertiary provider is 200 weeks.

The present maximum period for the payment of such an allowance is 5 academic years.

Regulations 21 and 22 describe circumstances where students may receive a basic grant, independent circumstances grant, or accommo­ dation beneﬁt for longer than 200 weeks.
Regulation 23 sets out rules governing the commencement and con­ clusion of payment periods for a basic grant or independent circum­ stances grant.

Regulation 24 sets out rules governing the rate at which the accom­ modation beneﬁt is paid, and the period for which it is payable.

Regulation 25 sets out rules governing the method of payment of an A­Bursary or a B­Bursary.

It also contains rules about cessation of payments under an A­Bursary or B­Bursary.
Regulation 26 describes the circumstances where the payment of cer­ tain allowances is permitted to continue where work is undertaken by 64 Reprinted as at 29 August 2008 Student Allowances Regulations 1998 Explanatory note a student overseas.

These circumstances are similar to those author­ ised under the present regulations.

Regulation 27 provides that no payment of certain allowances is to be made if the student’s income or combined income exceeds the income limit.
Regulation 28 provides that a person who is imprisoned or detained in a penal institution under a full­time custodial sentence loses his or her eligibility for any basic grant, independent circumstances grant, or accommodation beneﬁt, during any period of such imprisonment or detention.

Regulation 29 describes the circumstances in which certain allow­ ances may be suspended for failure to attend class or submit required work.
Regulation 30 describes the circumstances in which certain allow­ ances must be suspended as a consequence of a failure to pass a full­time course of study.

Regulation 31 provides for the suspension of certain allowances re­ ceived by a student who does not provide a periodical statement in accordance with regulation 16.

Regulation 32 provides for the reinstatement of allowances which have been lost or suspended under regulations 30 and 31 in the cir­ cumstances described in that regulation.
Regulation 33 allows a student to postpone a course of study, while retaining his or her eligibility to receive certain allowances, in the circumstances described in that regulation.

It provides that if a tertiary Regulation 34 is a new provision.

provider loses its accreditation or course approval under the Education Act 1989 then certain allowances received by students undertaking approved courses at the provider are suspended unless a decision is made not to suspend an allowance in an individual case.
Regulation 35 is a new provision.

It confers power to suspend certain allowances where a student does not attend a secondary school or tertiary provider for a period exceeding 2 weeks.

It also provides for the suspension of certain allowances where there is a break in tuition for a period of more than 3 weeks.

Regulations 36 to 39 (Part 6) largely repeats existing provisions in the Student Allowances Regulations 1991 relating to appeals to the Student Allowance Appeal Authority.
65 Student Allowances Regulations 1998 Reprinted as at 29 August 2008 Regulations 40 to 42 (Part 7) provide for administrative issues such as the form of application for an allowance, a requirement for students to notify a change in circumstances which affects or may affect the recipient’s entitlement to an allowance, and the form of statement required to be given under regulation 16.
Regulations 43 to 49 (Part 8) set out rules governing the calcula­ tion of weekly personal income, the effect of deprivation of income on the payment of allowances, procedures for reviewing allowances, rules governing the assignment and charging of certain allowances, transitional provisions, rules governing the entitlement of persons who have held allowances under the Student Allowances Regula­ tions 1991, and revocations.
Schedule 1 speciﬁes ﬁgures and a percentage decrease to be applied before there can be a re­assessment of annual parental income.

Schedule 2 contains tables describing the eligibility of different groups of students to receive allowances (other than the accommo­ dation beneﬁt) and the amounts of those allowances.

Schedule 3 speciﬁes the maximum weekly value of an accommoda­ tion beneﬁt.

Schedule 4 speciﬁes regulations which are revoked.
