39287 (2025). Hon Willie Jackson to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: Is the Minister kept up to date, in any way, with weekly changes to income support data; if so, which data specifically?

Hon Louise Upston: I receive monthly and quarterly updates as these are the most appropriate timeframes for these statistics. They can be found here: • Monthly income support reporting: https://www.msd.govt.nz/about-msd-and-our-work/publications-resources/statistics/monthly-reporting/ • Quarterly income support reporting (Tier 1 stats): https://www.msd.govt.nz/about-msd-and-our-work/publications-resources/statistics/benefit/index.html
