Family Boost & WINZ

Family Boost

What is FamilyBoost?
FamilyBoost is a new childcare payment that will partially reimburse eligible households for early childhood education (ECE) costs.

Who is eligible?
To be eligible for FamilyBoost, parents or caregivers will need to:

  • have household income of less than $180,000 a year.
  • have children aged 5 and under in their care.
  • have costs from a licenced ECE provider.
  • be a New Zealand tax resident.

Parents or caregivers who are separated will each be able to claim FamilyBoost if they each have costs for ECE.

How much is FamilyBoost?
FamilyBoost will cover 25% of a household’s childcare costs, up to a maximum of $975 every three months. This is after other government subsidies have been considered, such as ’20 Hours ECE Subsidy’ and Work and Income’s ‘Childcare Subsidy’.

The amount that can be claimed slowly reduces for household incomes over $140,000.

When can people register for and claim FamilyBoost?

  • From 1 July: Save invoices – Parents or caregivers will need to start saving their ECE invoices (as an image or PDF file) from 1 July.
  • From mid-September: Register – Parents or caregivers will be able to register for FamilyBoost in myIR from mid-September or they can wait until October to complete their registration at the same time as their first claim.
  • From 1 October: Claim – Parents or caregivers will be able to claim FamilyBoost in myIR from 1 October for the 1 July – 30 September quarter. They’ll need to upload their saved invoices to myIR to make their claim.
  • Ongoing: Parents or caregivers will need to continue saving their invoices for their next quarterly claims.

Where can people register for and claim FamilyBoost?
Parents or caregivers will need to register for and claim FamilyBoost in myIR – Inland Revenue’s online portal. If they don’t have a myIR account, they will need to register for one. They will also need to ensure they have an IRD number for the child/children they will be claiming for.

20 Hours ECE

What happens when your child turns three? Your child is now eligible for the 20 Hours ECE Subsidy. This subsidy is paid by the government to the centre once you have completed and signed the enrolment and attestation forms. There is plenty of information available on the parent’s page of the Ministry of Education website
https://parents.education.govt.nz/earlylearning/early-childhood-education/20-hours-ece-2/

If you wish to access the 20 Hours ECE Subsidy you must complete a change of hours form that shows the number of days and hours you want to enrol for.

At our centre we have a minimum enrolment requirement of three days a week and 7 hours per day. You must also allocate the 20 hours to only those days your child is enrolled for at our centre up to a maximum of six hours a day and a maximum of 20 hours a week. It is also important you declare whether you are using this subsidy at any other service. We will discuss the enrolment and attestation forms with you prior to your child turning three.

What about the Fees?

At our centre we offer a Full Day Programme. This enables you to enrol your child for as many hours and days that suits your family so long as:
>The hours are between 7.30am and 5.30pm
> For a minimum of 7 hours per day
> A minimum of three days per week.

At our centre we do not charge Optional Charges for the 20 Hours ECE Subsidy Programme. We do not charge fees for the hours covered by the government’s 20 Hours ECE subsidy. The amount per week covers the care and education provided by our centre for all hours NOT covered by the government’s 20 Hours ECE Subsidy (which covers up to a maximum six hours per day and a maximum of 20 hours per week).

WINZ subsidies

It is the parent’s responsibility to check with WINZ to see if they are entitled to a childcare subsidy. Depending on your total family income you may be eligible for fees assistance through the WINZ childcare subsidy.

However, this subsidy is only part payment for fees, and parents must meet the balance. Subsidy forms are available from your nearest WINZ office. They need to be brought to the Centre to be signed and then returned promptly to WINZ.

Please note, full fees will be charged and are to be paid in full up until the time we receive the WINZ subsidy.
