Subject: Official Information request - Flexiwage rate adjustments

Dear Ministry of Social Development,
Can the ministry please advise as to whether there has been any consideration to raise the flexiwage self employment weekly amount in line with minimum wage increases (currently $600 which equates to 30 hours at the previous minimum wage of $20 per hour) and what will be done to ensure their products are consistent with wage increases and ensuring recipients payments are adjusted considering general rising costs Yours faithfully, Patsy
