The payment runs for 12 weeks and is to help with increased winter heating costs.
The payment is not means tested.
Winston Peters, who earns $335,000 per annum, is receiving the payment and says he does not intend to refuse it.
People on Jobseeker Support and Sole Parent Support also receive the payment.
