Clients going overseas

When a client receiving a Jersey/Guernsey pension leaves New Zealand for a temporary absence the Jersey/Guernsey pension can continue to be paid.

The normal absence provisions apply to any New Zealand benefit or pension they are receiving.

If a client is going to reside in a country other than Jersey/Guernsey they may qualify for payment overseas depending on the country they are going to and the benefit type they are receiving.

If a client is going to Jersey/Guernsey and intends to stay there for more than 26 weeks they may be able to receive payment of their New Zealand benefit or pension in Jersey/Guernsey.

If a client is considering moving to Jersey/Guernsey you should advise them to write to the Jersey/Guernsey authorities to check their entitlement to a Jersey/Guernsey benefit or pension. The client will need to send full details of their circumstances to:
