Social Security Act 2018

Administration - Notices and communications, services, and preferred suppliers - Administration services provided by contracted service providers

375: Administration service providers: adoption of existing contracts

You could also call this:

"Old contracts with the Ministry of Social Development can be updated to follow the new Social Security Act 2018 rules."

If you have a contract with the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) that was signed before 27 July 2012, this section might apply to you. You need to know that this section is about contracts that were already in place before a certain date. The Social Security Act 2018 can apply to your contract if MSD agrees to it in writing.

MSD can agree with the other party to the contract that the Social Security Act 2018 applies to the contract, but only if the contract could have been signed under section 373. After MSD and the other party agree, the Social Security Act 2018 applies to the contract as if it was signed under section 373. This means the Act applies to the parts of the contract that could have been signed under section 373.

You can find more information about this by looking at the Social Security (Youth Support and Work Focus) Amendment Act 2012, which changed the law on 27 July 2012. This change is related to section 21 of that Act. The Social Security Act 2018 applies to your contract after the agreement is made.
