There's a new push for changes to the FamilyBoost scheme, after the Government incorrectly estimated the number of families eligible.
New data shows 249 families have received the maximum payment of $975 dollars a quarter since the scheme came into effect last year.
21,000 were originally forecast to be eligible.
NZ Herald political editor Thomas Coughlan explains the impacts that come with this.
