Annual General Adjustment of rates and thresholds
08 April 2019.
Every year, most of MSD’s rates and thresholds are adjusted to account for inflation, according to the Consumers Price Index. In order to change these rates and thresholds, amendments to legislation are required.
This year, we also include three remedial matters alongside the Annual General Adjustment (AGA) – two minor technical amendments following the rewrite of the Social Security Act, and exempting the back-payments made for the Accommodation Supplement boundaries issue from income and cash assets tests for social assistance.
