Applying in Korea
When a former New Zealand resident is already living in Korea they may get New Zealand Superannuation or Veteran's Pension if they meet the qualifying criteria.
The client will need to complete an Application for New Zealand Benefit form and lodge it at a Korean National Pension Service office which will send it to International Services in New Zealand.
International Services is responsible for:
- assessing entitlement
- granting and declining applications
- maintaining client records
- reviewing entitlement and
- cancelling payment
All payments
All initial payments of New Zealand Superannuation or Veteran's Pension will be made to the client or their designated representative. The agreement with Korea does not include recovery of debt from the initial arrears, or any other debt recovery.
