KiwiSaver change

The KiwiSaver scheme is to be changed to allow those with congenital life-shortening illnesses to withdraw their money from KiwiSaver early. It is proposed that the applicant may choose the date of withdrawal and the amount. Once a withdrawal is made, the scheme will be considered to have ceased and the Government will not make any more contributions to KiwiSaver and neither will the employer be expected to contribute.
