I have been working for a while now but only 1 day a week and only about 8hrs a day so I an not eligible for PPL this time around.
We should be entitled to Family Assistance (or whatever it's called) once we have 2 children.
Are there any other entitlements along the lines of PPL for either DH or me? I have tried the WINZ website but often find it hard to navigate.
From WINZ we get an accommodation supplement (about $40 a week) which you may be entitled for.
Also I am pretty sure you can still get a parental tax credit? instead of paid parental leave. We ended up getting $1200 paid out to us over 14 weeks which was really handy.
Winz will give you an accomedation supplement if your combined income is low enough. your best bet is to go in and make an appointment to see someone there and talk it through,
Yep, make an appt with a Working For Families Case Manager at WINZ (most offices have them) and make sure you tell the Call Centre person (if you book through them) that you're not sure what you can apply for. Otherwise they will just assume you know and book you an appt for 1 thing where there could be others. Accommodation Supplement is the main one if you have a partner in full time work though.
Have you looked at the Working For Families IRD website? Its got a quite of bit of info on it about what IRD and WINZ offer
