Social Security (Temporary Additional Support) Regulations 2005

6 Who is eligible for support

• (1) A person may apply for temporary additional support—

  • (a) whether or not he or she is receiving any other benefit, pension, or allowance under the Act, the New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income Act 2001, or the War Pensions Act 1954; but

  • (b) only if he or she is not, under regulation 7, ineligible for that support.

  (2) However, if a person is, under regulation 7(2), ineligible for temporary additional support because a member of the person’s family has been granted it, temporary additional support granted to that family member may be reviewed to ensure that his or her allowable costs and chargeable income include the allowable costs, and (if applicable) chargeable income, of the person.
