Death of a client in New Zealand

The cancellation of New Zealand benefits and pensions on the death of a client follows normal procedures.

International Services receives reports from SWIFTT when a New Zealand benefit or pension is cancelled for clients who were also getting a Jersey/Guernsey pension.

The executor of the client's estate will need to contact the Jersey/Guernsey authorities directly at the following address if they require any details of the Jersey/Guernsey pension, such as last payments due:

Jersey Employment & Social Security
Philip Le Feuvre House
La Motte Street
St Helier
Jersey
Channel Islands, JE2 8PE

Telephone 0044 1534 280 000

or

The Administrator
Guernsey Social Security Authority
Edward T Wheadon House
Le Truchot, St Peter Port
Guernsey
Channel Islands, GY1 3WH

Telephone 0044 1481 732 500

International Services will send the following information to the Jersey/Guernsey authorities:

• the clients name
• date of death and
• the name and address of the administrator of the estate

The executor of the estate should be added to the client's record using the SBFTZ screen so that International Services can advise the Jersey/Guernsey authorities.
