"What special words mean in the Social Security Act 2018"

When you read sections 173 to 180, you need to know what some words mean. NZ benefits legislation refers to laws like this Act, the New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income Act 2001, and Part 6 of the Veterans’ Support Act 2014. You also need to understand what an overseas pension is, which is explained in section 187 for the purposes of sections 187 to 190.

When you see the term overseas pension, it means the same thing as it does in section 187. This helps you understand what the law is talking about in sections 187 to 190. It is important to know what these words mean so you can understand the law correctly.

You should look at sections 173 to 180 to see how these words are used. These sections talk about obligations related to overseas pensions. The law explains what NZ benefits legislation and overseas pension mean in this context.
