Section Sch1-16 — Social Security Act 2018: Saving for emergency benefit granted if analogous benefit is New Zealand superannuation or veteran’s pension

16 Saving for emergency benefit granted if analogous benefit is New Zealand superannuation or veteran’s pension (1) This clause applies to a benefit if— (a) the benefit was an emergency benefit granted under section 61 of the Social Security Act 1964, and payable to a person immediately before the changeover; and (b) the analogous benefit was determined under section 61(2) of that Act to be New Zealand superannuation or a veteran’s pension. (2) The benefit continues as an emergency benefit under subpart 9 of Part 2— (a) at the rate that would apply if the analogous benefit continued to be New Zealand superannuation or a veteran’s pension; and (b) until the person no longer qualifies to receive the emergency benefit. (3) Subclause (2)(a) applies even if the rate it requires is contrary to section 63(4) (about emergency benefits not exceeding the rate of the equivalent main benefit under this Act).
