Building on this, we have continued to improve support through our welfare system in response to the impacts of COVID-19. We removed stand-down periods to ensure people out of work could access support as soon as possible. As part of our $12.1 billion phase one economic stimulus package, we invested main benefits by $25 and will be doubling our winter energy payment for 2020. This package was about protecting New Zealanders' health, protecting the vulnerable, protecting livelihoods, and ensuring the quickest recovery possible on all fronts.
