These regulations, which come into force on 30 November 2018, amend Schedule 3 of the Residential Care and Disability Support Services Regulations 2018, which lists exempt assets for the purposes of conducting a means assessment to determine a person’s eligibility for financial support for long-term residential care under the Residential Care and Disability Support Services Act 2018. The effect of the amendments is to ensure that any lump sum payment made to a person by Housing New Zealand Corporation on or after 30 November 2018 to reimburse the costs arising from the termination of a person’s tenancy with the Corporation due to alleged methamphetamine contamination of the property to which the tenancy relates is an exempt asset for the purposes of the means assessment.
