50. 民防补贴（Civil Defence Payment ）

如果您和您的家人受到紧急事件的影响，您或许可以获得民防补贴，不受当前是否在领取另一项新西兰福利影响，且大多数情况下，与您的收入或资产无关。

申请条件（Who can get it）

出现以下情况：
- 国家宣布进入民防紧急状态，或者
- 该事件符合民防紧急情况准则
由于紧急情况，您必须处于以下情况之一：
- 不得不离开家（已被疏散或出于待命状态）
- 发生紧急情况时您不在家里，不能回来
- 需要食物、被褥和衣服的帮助
- 不能去上班
- 无法从保险中支付您的费用（或您尚未收到付款）
- 无法获得其他帮助，比如公众捐款、其他政府救济基金、慈善救济基金

如果不能确定保险是否能涵盖您的花费，您仍有资格获得民防补贴。只不过您在已经获得民防补贴的情况下，一旦收到了保险付款，需要将民防补贴金退还给工作收入局。具体能得到多少补贴，将取决于您当前的处境。

如何申请（How to apply）

申请时需提供以下信息：

姓名
出生日期
联系电话
常住地址
当前地址（如果您不得不撤离家中）

如果您的申请原因是紧急情况导致失去收入，您还需要提供：

IRD 号
银行帐号
到目前为止您损失的任何收入的详细信息
雇主的名称、地址、联系人姓名和地址

分为以下三种情况：

1. 不得已离家住宿的情况

发生以下情况时，工作收入局可以帮助您支付住宿费用：

因紧急情况不得不离开家，或
在紧急情况发生时离开您的家，无法返回。补贴金的多少取决于您的处境和您住的地方。

住在临时住所：

如酒店或汽车旅馆，工作收入局会将您的住宿费直接支付给酒店或旅馆。

住在亲朋好友家里:

如朋友、家人或其他私人住宅，工作收入局也会帮助您支付住宿费用。

2. 需要食物、被褥和衣服的帮助

获得补贴的金额也取决于您当前居住在酒店旅馆还是亲朋好友家。
