1月26日新闻秘书处消息,针对Omicron 家庭一揽子计划在第一年帮助了大约330,000个家庭,超过新西兰所有有孩子的家庭的一半以上。

这些家庭在2018/19年度从家庭套餐付款中平均比2017/18年度每周多收到55纽币。 家庭套餐将住宿附加费提高到最大可能的价格,但并未导致租金的显着增加。   长期趋势显示,在家庭套餐变更后,没有证据表明住宿补助金领取者的租金增长速度快于新租约的总租金增长速度。 

社会发展和就业部长卡梅尔·塞普洛尼(Carmel Sepuloni)说:”家庭一揽子计划继续为低收入和中等收入的家庭提供更好的结果并提高收入,超过一半的家庭得到了该计划的支持,其中包括超过三分之二的毛利人和太平洋地区的家庭有孩子。

政府致力于使新西兰成为世界上最好的儿童之地。医疗技术司今天发布的关于家庭套餐的最新报告显示,这是一个成功的套餐,已经为新西兰人提供了服务。 除了从其他家庭一揽子计划付款中获得的收入增长之外,受益于引入最佳起步和延长带薪育儿假的父母在婴儿出生后的前六个月平均每周额外获得55纽币。

新的报告显示,截至2021年7月,即引入3年后,约有78,000名父母和照顾者与3岁以下的孩子一起定期收到最佳启动付款。 婴儿生命的前6个月是一个非常重要的时期,我们知道,通过最佳开端,我们的政府致力于使新西兰A成为养家糊口的好地方。

报告告诉我们,冬季能源支付也产生了影响,2020年和2021年约有120万新西兰成年人得到了冬季能源支付的帮助。作为2018年家庭套餐变更的一部分,住宿补助金有所增加。全国各地都提高了最高应付费率,更多的地方有资格成为最高费率较高的地区。 Motu经济和公共政策研究报告研究了2018年住宿补贴的增加是否通过提高租金流向房东,而不是向个人和家庭提供额外支持。 令人高兴的是,报告发现,两年后,住宿支持增加的约90%直接流向预期的接受者,作为租金后收入的增加,而不是通过提高租金流向房东,并且没有导致租金的显着增加。

长期趋势显示,没有证据表明,在家庭套餐变更后,住宿补贴接受者的租金增长速度快于新租约的总租金增长速度。 我们政府家庭一揽子计划的核心是我们坚持不懈地关注改变和投资于我们儿童的生活。不是为了它,而是因为这是正确的事情”卡梅尔·塞普洛尼说 社会发展部将继续监测和评估家庭一揽子计划,并将于2023年初发布下一次更新。

2018年推出的家庭套餐:

★通过税收和福利制度增加了几笔社会援助金提高低收入和中等收入家庭收入的ms

★通过引入最佳开端税收抵免和延长家庭可享受的带薪育儿假的期限,增加早期权利。

★向获得主要福利的人介绍冬季能源支付,超级年金在冬季为房屋供暖。

★提高了可领取的住宿补助金的最高费率。

26 January 2022,Government’s Family Package continues to deliver for New Zealanders
 
·       The Families Package helped around 330,000 families in its first year – more than half of all families with children in NZ
·       These families received an estimated $55 per week more from Families Package payments in 2018/19 than in 2017/18, on average
·       Families Package increases to the maximum possible Accommodation Supplement rates did not lead to a notable increase in rents.
·       Long-term trends show no evidence of rents for Accommodation Supplement recipients increasing faster than overall rents for new tenancies following the Families Package changes.
  The Families Package continues to deliver better outcomes and lift incomes for low- and middle-income whānau across the motu, with more than half of families being supported by the package, including over two thirds of all Māori and Pacific whānau with children, Minister for Social Development and Employment Carmel Sepuloni said.
“The Government is committed to making Aotearoa New Zealand the best place in the world to be a child. The latest reporting by MSD on the Families Package released today shows that it’s a successful package that has delivered for New Zealanders,” Carmel Sepuloni said.
“On top of income gains from other Families Package payments, parents who benefitted from the introduction of Best Start and extended paid parental leave gained an additional $55 per week on average, in the first six months after their baby was born.
“New reporting shows that as of July 2021, three years after it was introduced, around 78,000 parents and caregivers with children under three years old were receiving a regular Best Start payment.
“The first six-months of a baby’s life is a really important period and we know that through Best Start, our Government is committed to making Aotearoa New Zealand a great place to raise a family.
“The reporting tells us that the Winter Energy Payment has also made a difference, with around 1.2 million New Zealand adults being helped by the Winter Energy Payment in 2020 and 2021,”
The Accommodation Supplement was increased as part of the Families Package changes in 2018. Maximum rates payable were increased everywhere in the country, and more places qualified as areas with higher maximum rates.
The Motu Economic and Public Policy Research report looked at whether increases to the Accommodation Supplement in 2018 went to landlords through increases in rent, rather than giving the extra support to individuals and families.
“It is pleasing to see that the report found that, after two-years, around 90 percent of the increase in accommodation support flowed directly to the intended recipients as increased after-rent income, rather than going to landlords through increases in rent, and had not led to a notable increase in rents.
“Long-term trends show no evidence of rents for Accommodation Supplement recipients increasing faster than overall rents for new tenancies following the Families Package changes.
“At the heart of our Government’s Families Package, has been our relentless focus on making a difference to, and investing in the lives, of our children. Not for the sake of it but because it’s the right thing to do,” Carmel Sepuloni said.
The Ministry of Social Development will continue to monitor and evaluate the Families Package and will release their next update in early 2023.
