Social obligations
A correction has been made to pages related to the social obligation for dependent children to be enrolled in and attending school. This is to correctly note that this obligation does not apply to a client and their partner (if any) with dependent children that are aged 16 to 18 years old.

Jobseeker Support Student Hardship
We are clarifying when MSD can grant Jobseeker Support Student Hardship (JSSH), including:
- the only time MSD can pay JSSH is when an eligible student is in hardship between the academic years of their programme of study
- a student’s academic year does not have to align with the calendar year
- a programme of study is the period between the start and end date of a qualification
