From: James Webb
Dear Ministry of Social Development,
I request the following for the last three calendar years:
1. How many individuals in total received jobseeker support payments?
- How many of those individuals had a recorded disability/impairment/health condition?
2. Of those without a recorded disability, what was the average time on jobseeker support?
- How many of those individuals stopped receiving Jobseeker support due to employment?
- How many of those individuals stopped receiving Jobseeker support due to not meeting obligations?
3. What are the guidelines used to determine if an individual is 'work ready'?
4. What evidence does MSD have regarding the outcomes of job seminars? This may include independent reports, evaluations of the requirement to attend, anecdotal research, etc.
Since November 27th 2023 I request:
5. A copy of all advice to Ministers on 'work-check ins' and job seminars.
6. A summary of consultation on the above (5), and a list of those consulted.
Yours faithfully,
