Social Rehabilitation Assistance
Social Rehabilitation Assistance is a payment which helps people who are in a residential social rehabilitation programme and their benefit isn't enough to meet the fees. Payments are made directly to the programme provider.
Who can get it
You may get Social Rehabilitation Assistance if you are in an approved social rehabilitation programme and getting a benefit.
If you are getting New Zealand Superannuation or Veteran’s Pension it also depends on how much you and your spouse or partner earn.
If you are going into a social rehabilitation programme but are not getting a benefit, contact us to find out if you qualify for one.
