Grant Robertson: Finance Minister says there have been talks around improving for next cost-of-living payment
New screening measures have been launched ahead of the second cost of living payment.
The next $116 payment is due out on Thursday.
The Auditor-General says the payment should have been rolled out more carefully to stop ineligible people living overseas getting it again.
31,000 people won't get the second payment until they confirm they're in New Zealand.
Finance Minister Grant Robertson told Heather du Plessis-Allan since the first payments there have been conversations with Inland Revenue around what can be done to make sure criteria is properly implemented.
