Payments
Payments to a New Zealand bank account are paid on the same day as all New Zealand Superannuation or Veterans Pension payments.
Clients wanting their payments made to an overseas bank account are paid every 4 weeks.
In general, payment must be made directly to the client. However, where there is good cause, the client's benefit can be paid to another person.

Grandparented non-qualified partner's payments are cancelled from the payday after the qualified partner leaves New Zealand.
