We haven t seen a correlation : Ardern confident benefit boost won t spark rent increases Newshub 2 hrs ago © Newshub Watch the Prime Minister speak to media after the release of Budget 2021. The Prime Minister is confident the benefit boost in Budget 2021 won t end up sparking higher rents, because she went back through the evidence to identify any correlation.  Beneficiaries got a $3.3 billion bump in the Budget, which will see the Government go beyond recommendations made two years ago by the Welfare Expert Advisory Group to increase benefit levels to help reduce poverty.  The Government increased the benefit by $25 a week last year. From July 1, it will lift by $20 a week and a second increase will occur again next year. Families and whānau with children will also receive a further $15 per adult per week.
