447: Regulations: budgeting activities due to application for advance payment of instalments of benefit

You could also call this:

“Rules for budgeting activities when asking for early benefit payments”

You can make rules about budgeting activities that people might have to do if they ask for their benefit payments in advance. The Governor-General can create these rules through an Order in Council.

These rules can explain what kinds of budgeting activities you might need to do and what the conditions are for doing them. They can also say when the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) can ask you to do these activities.

If you want to know more about when you might need to do budgeting activities, you can look at section 348 of the Social Security Act.

Any rules made about this are called secondary legislation. This means they need to follow certain steps to be published and made official.
