As you may be aware, Job Support Funds are now administered through the Ministry of Social Development. This was previously through WorkBridge. As part of this process, they have a new Job Support Funds Application Form.
The new Job Support Funds application form has some new questions to ask i.e. your bank account details, and your IRD number etc. We have contacted MSD about this to find out why this information is needed. We are still waiting for a response from them. It may take a few weeks.
In the meantime, if you are also in the process of renewing your Job Support Funds, and you have your own questions or concerns about the form and process, please email hello@deaf.org.nz and all queries will be passed on to Lara Draper, General Manager for Adults and Seniors, and Rachel Hargreaves, Policy and Advocacy Manager, to be collated and raised with MSD.
