Social Security (Jobseeker Support and Accommodation Supplement) Amendment Bill

Purpose

This bill amends the Social Security Act 2018 to support fiscal sustainability in the welfare system by better targeting financial assistance to those most in need of support. It tightens eligibility criteria for jobseeker support and the equivalent emergency benefit for young people and targets the accommodation supplement more tightly to some homeowners.
