Frequently Asked Questions

What if you are new to KiwiSaver, or turned 18 or 65 during the year?

If you have only just joined KiwiSaver (with any provider, not just Generate) within the year to 30 June, or turned 18 or 65 part-way through the year, you'll get a pro-rata amount for the days you were eligible.

Exception for over 65 years:

If you are over 65 you may still be eligible for the Government contribution if you joined KiwiSaver before turning 65 and have been a member for less than five years. You must also have joined a KiwiSaver Scheme before 1 July 2019 and not made any retirement withdrawals.
