Excluding Flexible Childcare Assistance and the Training Incentive Allowance from Youth Money Management
08 July 2025.
Amendments to the Social Security Act 2018 are required to exclude Flexible Childcare Assistance and the Training Incentive Allowance from being paid in the Youth Money Management manner and instead be paid directly to the relevant client, as per the respective policy intents.
Note: that Youth Money Management is used by the Ministry of Social Development's Youth Service to help some young people to manage their finances. This is different to the non-financial sanction available under the Traffic Light System.
