(1)

In these regulations, unless the context otherwise requires,—

Act means the Social Security Act 1964

adopted reciprocity agreement means an agreement or convention that is adopted under section 19, or the provisions of which are given force and effect so far as they relate to New Zealand by an order under section 19(1), of the Social Welfare (Transitional Provisions) Act 1990.

(a)

excluded from the operation of all of the provisions of section 75B of the Act; and
