Student Allowance

A Student Allowance is a weekly payment that can help with your living expenses while you’re studying.

Important information

You don’t have to pay the money back.

The Student Allowance is similar to the Student Loan living costs but you don’t have to pay it back. You do have to pay back the living costs, as it’s part of the Student Loan.

To get a Student Allowance, you need to be either:

• a New Zealand citizen or
• ordinarily resident in New Zealand , and have been:
  • living in New Zealand for at least 3 years, and
  • been entitled to reside indefinitely in New Zealand for at least 3 years, or
• a refugee or protected person and be entitled to reside indefinitely in New Zealand, or
• be:
  • on a Christchurch Response 2019 Permanent Resident Visa, or
  • eligible for a Christchurch Response Visa but you’re already on another residence visa, or
• entitled to reside indefinitely in New Zealand and were sponsored into New Zealand by someone in your family who, at the time you were sponsored, was:
  • a refugee or protected person, and
  • was entitled to reside indefinitely in New Zealand.

In most cases you have to be:

• between 18-65
• studying full-time

However in some circumstances you’ll be able to get it if you’re:

• 16-17 or
• studying part-time

Your course

You must be studying either:

• at an approved education provider in New Zealand and doing an approved course which is either:
  • an undergraduate course (level 7 or below on the National Qualifications Framework), or
  • a Bachelor degree with honours
• overseas through an approved education provider in New Zealand
• at secondary school.

Check if your course is approved on the Which Course Where website

Returning students

If you’re a returning student you need to meet the passing requirements

There’s also a limit to how long you can get a Student Allowance for in your lifetime.

Who can’t get it

You can’t get a Student Allowance if you’re either:

• on a study break for more than 3 weeks, or
• on a benefit that you can stay on while you’re studying, or
• in prison, or
• over 65.

If you’re on a break longer than 3 weeks because of COVID-19 your payments will continue. Find out more here.

What you can get

This will always depend on how much income you get.

How your income affects Student Allowance

Student Allowance rates

It may also depend on your parents’ income or your partner’s income, this depends on your situation.

Under 24 with no children

Your parents’ income will be considered if you:

• are under 24, and
• don’t have children

It doesn’t matter if you have a partner or not.

If you don’t have any parents or don’t have any kind of relationship with your parents, their income may not be considered.

Our definition for supported child

Student Allowance when you have 2 parents

Relationship with only 1 parent

No relationship with parents

You have a partner

For Student Allowance, a partner is someone you are in a recognised relationship with.

This means your partner’s income will be considered if you and your partner are either:

• both over 24, or
• support a child.

Accommodation Benefit

If you get a Student Allowance, you may also be able to get an Accommodation Benefit. We’ll work out if you can get this when you apply for your Student Allowance.

Accommodation Benefit

When to apply

Important information

Apply as early as you can to help get your correct payments on time.

You can apply even if you haven’t finalised where or what you’re studying.

If you apply after your course starts

You can apply up until the date your course finishes but we can only pay you from when you submit your application.

We must receive all the documents we need before your course finishes.

How to apply

You apply online.

If you’re studying for more than 1 year, you need to reapply for a Student Allowance each year that you study.

Applying for the first time

If you’re applying for the first time, there are a number of steps you must take.

Applying when it’s been a while

If you’ve had a Student Allowance more than 12 months ago, you’ll need to follow a different process.

Applying as a returning student

If you’ve had a Student Allowance in the last 12 months, you can apply in your MyStudyLink account.

What happens next

You’ll need to send us any documents we ask for.

Once we’ve got everything we need from you, we’ll confirm your enrolment details with your education provider closer to the start of your course. You need to be fully enrolled before we can do this.

Manage your application

You can check how your application’s going, or look at your payment information, online in MyStudyLink.

Find out about MyStudyLink

Payment

Application approved before course starts

If your Student Allowance application is approved before your course starts, you’ll get your first weekly payment in the second week of your course.

You won’t get any money in the first week of your course because we pay you in arrears, which means you study for one week and get paid for that study in the next week. When you finish your course, you’ll get your last payment a week later.

Application approved after course starts

If you applied before your course started, you’ll get a back payment to when your course started. This will be paid to you in a lump sum. You’ll then get your first weekly payment a week later.

If you applied after your course started, you’ll get a back payment to when you submitted your application. This will be paid to you in a lump sum. You’ll then get your first weekly payment a week later.

You won’t get your first weekly payment until a week later because we pay you in arrears, which means you study for one week and get paid for that study in the next week. When you finish your course, you’ll get your last payment a week later.

Applied for Student Allowance and living costs

You can’t get both the full amount of living costs and the Student Allowance at the same time.

If your loan is approved first, you’ll get the weekly living costs payments that you’ve asked for. Once your Student Allowance is approved, your living costs will reduce by the amount of Student Allowance you get.

Example

You’re getting weekly living costs payments of $242.53. Your Student Allowance is approved for $150 a week so your living costs will go down to $92.53 a week.

Back payment of Student Allowance

If we owe you any back payment of Student Allowance:

• this will be paid onto your loan first, to pay back any living costs you received
• we’ll put some towards any debts you have with the Ministry of Social Development (eg StudyLink, Work and Income)
• we’ll then pay the rest to you.

Getting Student Allowance and your circumstances change

If you’re getting Student Allowance and your circumstances change, you need to let us know. If you don’t let us know, you may get a debt.

Unsupported Child’s Benefit

Unsupported Child’s Benefit is a weekly payment which helps carers supporting a child or young person whose parents can’t care for them because of a family breakdown.

Who can get it

You may be able to get the Unsupported Child’s Benefit if the child or young person you care for is:

• 18 years old or younger
• single
• financially dependent on you
• not able to be cared for by their parents.

You must:

• be 18 or older and the main carer of the child or young person
• be a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident
• not be the child or young person’s natural or adoptive parent or step-parent.

You and the child or young person must normally live in New Zealand.

You’ll need to apply for Child Support from the child’s parents. This money goes to the government to help cover what we pay you. You’ll also need to attend a Family Meeting (if you haven’t already had a Family Group Conference) to confirm that there has been a family breakdown and that you’ll be the main caregiver for the next 12 months.

Income

This benefit is not based on your income or any money the child gets from working after school or in the holidays. But other income the child gets, eg from a family trust, ACC, investments or their parents’ estate, could affect whether you qualify and the amount you can get.

If you’re working and are granted the Unsupported Childs Benefit, you may also qualify for the In-work tax credit from Inland Revenue

You won’t be able to get the Unsupported Child’s Benefit at the same time as Board payments from Oranga Tamariki - Ministry for Children or Working for Families Tax Credits from Inland Revenue (except In-work tax credit) for the same child.

Parent/caregiver involvement

When you apply for an Unsupported Child’s Benefit for a child, the parent/caregiver will be invited to discuss the situation. There are some circumstances where this won’t happen, for example, when a recent Oranga Tamariki - Ministry for Children Group Conference has been held.

Information for parents/caregivers

Child is 16 or 17

In some cases, a child may qualify for their own income support. To find out more call us or your local Youth Service provider.

How much you can get

How much you get depends on how old the child is and any income they have.

Current rates

You will also be able to get a Clothing Allowance. This is paid automatically when you get an Unsupported Child’s Benefit.

How to apply

Call us to talk about your circumstances and we’ll explain how to apply, and what documents you’ll need to provide.

You’ll usually need to provide:

• a full birth certificate for the child
• a copy of the custody or guardianship agreement
• details about the child’s income
• Family Group Conference Outcomes, Court Orders or Court Approved Plans
• names, addresses and phone numbers of the child’s parents and their places of work.

If you don’t have these documents or find it hard to get these, please call us.

Orphan’s/Unsupported Child’s Benefit Application Form (PDF 626.94KB)

How long do I have to complete my application?

You have 20 working days from when you first contacted us. If we ask for any supporting documents, you’ll need to provide them within this time.

If you can’t complete your application within 20 working days for any reason, please let us know when you talk with us.

When do payments start?

If your application is approved, you’ll usually receive your first payment two to four weeks from the date you apply or start looking after the child (whichever is later). You’ll need to apply as soon as you become the child’s main caregiver as we can’t backdate payments.

Other payments

If you get the Unsupported Child’s Benefit or Orphan’s Benefit you may be able to get help with other expenses.

Establishment Grant

Establishment grant is paid automatically when you first get Unsupported Child’s Benefit or Orphan’s Benefit. This is a once only payment of $350 for each child you’re caring for. This money helps you buy things like a bed, bedding and clothing. You won’t be taxed on this money, and you won’t have to pay it back.

School and Year Start-up Payment

Help with the costs that mostly happen at the beginning of the year, in particular pre-school and school-related costs such as clothing, school fees and stationery.

Extraordinary Care Fund

The Extraordinary Care Fund helps with costs for children who are either experiencing difficulties that impact on their development or who are showing promise.

Youth Payment

Youth Payment helps young people aged 16 or 17 who can’t live with their parents or guardian and aren’t supported by them or anyone else.

Who can get it

You may get Youth Payment if you:

• are 16 or 17
• have no dependent children
• are a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident
• normally live in New Zealand and intend to stay here.

You must also:

• be in, or available for either:
  • full time education
  • training
  • work-based learning leading towards an NCEA level 2 qualification, or an equivalent or higher qualification
• work with a Youth Service provider who will help you manage your money
• attend a budgeting course.

We know you may not be able to do some of these things due to COVID-19. We’ll talk to you about this when you apply.

You’re single

If you’re single, you may get Youth Payment if you:

• have a parental support gap, or
• are divorced, or your civil union has been dissolved or you have separated from your de-facto partner.

You’re in a relationship

If you’re married, in a civil union or de facto relationship, you may get Youth Payment as long as you’re not in a relationship with a specified beneficiary

A Family Court Judge must consent to your relationship. You’ll need to show us the court order from the Family Court Judge.

Before 14 August 2018, we accepted written consent from the parents of the 16-17 year old. If you’ve already given the parents’ consent to us before then, we can still use it. You don’t need to get consent from a Family Court Judge.

Parental support gap

You are considered to have a parental support gap if:

• you have left the care of Oranga Tamariki - Ministry for Children, or
• your parents or guardian can’t support you. This could be because they are in prison, in hospital, deceased, or overseas, or
• your relationship with your parents or guardians has broken down and no one can support you financially, or
• there is a good reason why you can no longer live with your parents or guardian, or be supported by them or anyone else.

You would not be considered to have a parental support gap if you have the option of living with a parent or guardian but choose not to without a good and sufficient reason.

Parent/caregiver involvement

When you apply for a Youth Payment we usually discuss your situation with your parents or caregivers. There are some circumstances when this won’t happen, eg if you are married or in a civil union.

Information for parents/caregivers

Education & Training

Most young people are better off if they finish their education or are in training for future work. When you apply, we’ll call you to talk about what education or training you’ll return to, start or continue doing.

How much you can get

This depends on your current circumstances.

Current rates

When you get Youth Payment we’ll automatically pay you the Winter Energy Payment for heating your home over the winter months.
