What welfare policies can I enjoy after immigrating to New Zealand?

The welfare policy of the welfare state is actually a system of income redistribution, a manifestation of the current humanitarian spirit and an interpretation of the equality of all beings. Let's analyze what welfare policies we can enjoy after immigrating to New Zealand.

The happiness of a country's citizens depends not only on income, but also on many factors. Some people have high incomes, but they have no sense of security; Some people have stable jobs, but they can't live the life they want for various reasons. When a few people in a country control most of the resources and wealth, people will feel social injustice.

There are three main welfare institutions in New Zealand: work and income, study connection and inland income. Welfare is generally divided into student welfare and general PR welfare. The following is an interpretation of New Zealand's welfare policy, mainly for ordinary PR (non-students).

If you are an ordinary PR (non-student) and want to apply for welfare, then apply for Workand Income. General public relations benefits generally include the following five types:

1. Accommodation allowance. Applicant's conditions: Any New Zealand permanent resident or citizen. The amount of housing subsidy is determined according to the applicant's rent or mortgage, income, partner, living area and other factors.

2. Job seeker support, applicant conditions: people who have lived in New Zealand for two consecutive years after obtaining PR. If the applicant is unemployed now, he can apply for this subsidy until he finds a full-time job. If the applicant is physically ill (including being pregnant for 27 weeks or more), so he can't work full-time at present, he needs a certificate from a family doctor. Spouses (partners) who do not have full-time jobs can also apply for this subsidy. He can apply for $ 174.5438+0/ person/week. If he is single and over 25 years old, he can apply for $209.06 per week.

3. Support for living expenses. Applicants' conditions: people who have lived in New Zealand for two consecutive years after obtaining PR. This subsidy is given to people who are sick, injured or disabled or to people who take care of them. The applicant suffers from a serious illness or disability (the disease will continue to affect the applicant's ability to work for more than two years; Or the applicant suffers from a major illness and his life expectancy is less than two years; Still blind). You can apply for $ 174.2 1/ person/week. If you are single, you can apply for $209.06 per week.

4. Single parent support. Applicants' conditions: those who have lived in New Zealand for two years after obtaining PR, have no full-time job and need to take care of their children under 14 alone can apply for $299.45 per week.

5. New Zealand pensions. Applicant requirements: over 65 years old, who has lived in New Zealand for 65,438+00 years after obtaining PR (including over 50 years old for 5 years). If they are single and live in their own home, they can apply for $366.94 per week. If they have a partner, both of them can apply for US dollars.

If you need to take care of minor children (/kloc-under 0/8 years old), you can apply for a family tax credit from inland income, commonly known as "milk powder money". Applicant's conditions: the child or parents are permanent residents or citizens of New Zealand. Children can enjoy "milk powder money" whether their parents have jobs or not. How much money you can apply for depends on whether your parents have jobs and your income. If your family has a newborn, you can apply for a newborn allowance for inland income, up to $65,438+$0,200.

During the welfare period, if personal circumstances change, such as address change, rent change, spouse, children, income change, plans to leave New Zealand, etc. You need to inform the welfare bureau in time. It is strongly recommended that you give priority to your work.
