Example 1—single jobseeker support beneficiary with 2 dependent children

P is a single jobseeker support beneficiary with 2 dependent children, both of whom are younger than 13 years of age.

1	P’s weekly chargeable income is $503.14, and is made up of—
	$249.10	net jobseeker support; and
	$119.00	family tax credit—a credit of tax under subparts MA to MG and MZ of the Income Tax Act 2007; and
	$84.00	accommodation supplement for a resident renting in area 1; and
	$51.04	disability allowance (paid at the maximum).
2	P’s weekly allowable costs are $313.96, and are made up of—
	$200.00	rent in area 1 (deduct $20.96 loading from accommodation costs); and
	$134.92	disability costs via disability allowance.
3	P’s disposable income is therefore $189.18, which is the remainder (a positive amount) obtained by subtracting—
	$313.96	P’s weekly allowable costs; from
	$503.14	P’s weekly chargeable income.
4	P’s standard costs are $257.67, and are made up of—
	$174.37	70% of the net jobseeker support; and
	$83.30	70% of family tax credit.
5	P’s standard costs, $257.67, exceed P’s disposable income, $189.18, by $68.49. The deficiency is therefore $68.49.
6	The upper limit is $74.73 (which is 30% of the net jobseeker support).

If P is eligible for temporary additional support under regulations 6 to 8, and an application form for that support is completed as required by regulation 9, then the amount of that support that P may be granted per week, under regulation 10, is $68.49, which is the lesser of the deficiency, $68.49, and the upper limit, $74.73. (Although P has disability costs included in his or her allowable costs, the disability exception amount is not available to P under regulation 11, because P’s deficiency does not exceed the upper limit.)

Example 2—married jobseeker support beneficiary with 3 dependent children

S is a married jobseeker support beneficiary with 3 dependent children, all of whom are younger than 13 years of age.

1	S’s weekly chargeable income is $557.92, and is made up of—
	$289.84	net jobseeker support; and
	$166.00	family tax credit—a credit of tax under subparts MA to MG and MZ of the Income Tax Act 2007; and
	$102.08	disability allowance × 2 (paid at the maximum).
2	S’s weekly allowable costs are $327.48, and are made up of—
	$200.00	Housing New Zealand rent in area 1 (deduct $20.96 loading from accommodation costs); and
	$148.44	disability costs via disability allowance.
3	S’s disposable income is therefore $230.44, which is the remainder (a positive amount) obtained by subtracting—
	$327.48	S’s weekly allowable costs; from
	$557.92	S’s weekly chargeable income.
4	S’s standard costs are $319.09, and are made up of—
	$202.89	70% of the net jobseeker support; and
	$116.20	70% of family tax credit.
5	S’s standard costs, $319.09, exceed S’s disposable income, $230.44, by $88.65. The deficiency is therefore $88.65.
6	The upper limit is $86.95 (which is 30% of the net jobseeker support).
7	The disability exception amount is $13.91 (which is 30% of the excess disability costs total).

If S is eligible for temporary additional support under regulations 6 to 8, and an application form for that support is completed as required by regulation 9, then the amount of that support that S may be granted per week, under regulations 10 and 11, is $100.86.

That amount, $100.86, is the sum of—

(a)

$86.95, which is the lesser of the deficiency, $88.65, and the upper limit, $86.95 (see regulation 10(1)(a)); and

(b)

$13.91, which is the disability exception amount available to S under regulation 11 (see regulation 10(1)(b)).

Example 3—single jobseeker support beneficiary with no dependent children

X is a single jobseeker support beneficiary who is 26 years of age and has no dependent children.

1	X’s weekly chargeable income is $193.92, and is made up of—
	$173.92	net jobseeker support; and
	$20.00	disability allowance.
2	X’s weekly allowable costs are $159.48, and are made up of—
	$130.00	Housing New Zealand rent in area 1 (deduct $20.96 loading from accommodation costs); and
	$20.00	disability costs via disability allowance; and
	$30.44	consumer credit contracts.
3	X’s disposable income is therefore $34.44, which is the remainder (a positive amount) obtained by subtracting—
	$159.48	X’s weekly allowable costs; from
	$193.92	X’s weekly chargeable income.
4	X’s standard costs are $121.74 (which is 70% of the net jobseeker support).
5	X’s standard costs, $121.74, exceed X’s disposable income, $34.44, by $87.30. The deficiency is therefore $87.30.
6	The upper limit is $52.18 (which is 30% of the net jobseeker support).

If X is eligible for temporary additional support under regulations 6 to 8, and an application form for that support is completed as required by regulation 9, then the amount of that support that X may be granted per week, under regulation 10, is $52.18, which is the lesser of the deficiency, $87.30, and the upper limit, $52.18. (Although X has disability costs included in his or her allowable costs, the disability exception amount is not available to X under regulation 11, because his or her disability costs are met by his or her disability allowance.)
