Opting out of youth money management

Young people who are not subject to a sanction will be able to get their full payment directly when they have:

• turned 18 years
• chosen to stay on Youth Payment to complete their course of study, training or work-based learning and
• provided written notice to their service provider or Work and Income "in-house" service that they opt out of youth money management

This applies even if they haven't been getting Youth Payment long enough to have earned all the incentives available to them.
