Social Security Act 1964

Maximum Contribution Applying in Each Territorial Local Authority Region From 22 March 2006

Under section 152 of the Social Security Act 1964, the Director-General of Health is required to notify the maximum contribution that applies in each region.

The maximum contribution is the maximum weekly amount (inclusive of G.S.T.) that a resident assessed as requiring long-term residential care is required to pay for contracted care services provided to them in the region in which their rest home or continuing care hospital is located.

Contracted care services are services provided to needs assessed people in a rest home or continuing care hospital that has a contract with a District Health Board (“DHB”). The services are those provided and paid for in accordance with the agreement between the DHB and the residential care provider.

The agreement covers:

• residents who are eligible for the residential care subsidy (as determined through a financial means assessment under section 141 of the Act); and
• needs assessed persons who are entitled to have funding paid on their behalf (under section 140) to cover the difference between the maximum contribution and the cost of contracted care services provided to them.

The maximum contribution is the same for all residents regardless of the type of contracted care services they receive.

The maximum contribution set by this New Zealand Gazette notice applies from 22 March 2006 and replaces the previous maximum contribution notice published in the New Zealand Gazette, 23 June 2005, No 94, page 2253.

It is equivalent to the most recent, nationally agreed rest home contract price applying to residential care facilities in each territorial local authority region.

The maximum contribution is set at $636.00 per week (G.S.T. inclusive) for any region where the rest home contract price is lower than $636.00.

The maximum contribution will change only when a new maximum contribution is gazetted.
