What you're entitled to if you receive an income-tested benefit
What it is
Work and Income provides help and pays income-tested benefits that include:
- unemployment benefit
- independent youth benefit
- invalid's benefit
- sickness benefit
- widow's benefit, and
- domestic purposes benefit.
What you're entitled to
If you receive any of these benefits, you are only entitled to family tax credit (previously called family support). This is paid by Work and Income. You are not entitled to any other Working for Families Tax Credits.
