The rates given are a guide only and will not tell you your personal entitlement to any benefit. There are a number of other factors which are considered when Work and Income NZ works out an individual's entitlement, including other income, assets and living situation.
All benefits have some residency requirements.
The rates information does not replace the advice and decisions of the Department's staff. If you want to apply for support or confirm you are receiving your correct entitlement then you need to speak to someone at Work and Income NZ . Rates are as at 1 April 2001.
