Release on bail

When a client is released on bail, New Zealand Superannuation can be paid from the date of release providing the client still meets the qualifications for the New Zealand Superannuation and reapplies for New Zealand Superannuation immediately after their release.

A grandparented non-qualified partner cannot be reincluded on release if the grandparented non-qualified partner rate was cancelled due to the imprisonment.

Note there is no initial stand-down when clients apply for New Zealand Superannuation. New Zealand Superannuation commences from:

• date of application or
• date of release
