This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 29 June 2007, are made under the Social Security Act 1964 (the Act). They amend the Social Security (Temporary Additional Support) Regulations 2005 by inserting new regulation 8(3)(f), which excludes certain payments from a person’s cash assets, which are considered in determining his or her eligibility for temporary additional support. The excluded payments are ex gratia payments—
The exclusion applies only for the first 12 months after the ex gratia payments concerned were made. For that 12-month period, the excluded payments are also—
not income or cash assets (and any income derived, directly or indirectly, from them is also not income) for the purposes of the Act, because of the related exemptions in regulations 5 and 6 of the Social Security (Income and Cash Assets Exemptions: Personal Injury from Hepatitis C Infection Contracted Through New Zealand Blood Supply) Regulations 2006; and
assets exempt from means assessment under Part 4 of the Act, because of the related exemption in regulation 10(1)(f) of the Social Security (Long-term Residential Care) Regulations 2005.
Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.
Date of notification in Gazette: 28 June 2007.
