It is important that you know your rights and are getting all the financial help that you are entitled to. There are many supplements that can be added to your basic income or benefit and you need to be sure that you are receiving all those that you qualify for.
- Be open and honest in your dealings with WINZ. It will not help if you give misleading information only to find further down the track that you now have a debt to be paid back.
- Some supplements may be paid by the Inland Revenue
- If your circumstances change at all, you begin or end employment, move house, are caring for more or less children, you must advise WINZ immediately as this may affect your benefit.
- Ask your WINZ caseworker to print out your weekly entitlement and use this to fill out your weekly budget.
- Pick up booklets from your WINZ office that refer to your benefit and read them thoroughly.
