211: MSD must give beneficiary notice of unresolved warrant

You could also call this:

“MSD must tell you quickly if there's a warrant for your arrest”

When the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) finds out that a warrant has been issued for your arrest, they have to tell you about it as soon as they can. They will send you a special notice called an “unresolved warrant notice”. This notice will include all the information that the law says it needs to have. The law that explains what must be in the notice is called section 212.
