364: Ways MSD or person can meet requirement to give notice or other document

You could also call this:

“How MSD and you can share important papers”

You might need to give notices or documents to MSD (Ministry of Social Development) or they might need to give them to you. The ways this can be done are written in special rules called regulations. These regulations are made under section 449 of the Social Security Act 2018.

There’s one exception to this. If MSD needs to tell you about a sanction (which is like a penalty), they have to follow a different rule. This rule is in section 254 of the same Act.
