Restrictions on bereavement claims
11 Restrictions on bereavement claims
Entitlement must not already have been determined, or be awaiting determination, on a previous claim
A claim for payment of family tax benefit by single payment/in substitution because of the death of another individual is not effective if the claimant has previously made a claim for payment of family tax benefit because of the death of that individual (whether or not the claim has yet been determined).
Single payment/substitution claims must relate to current or previous income year
If a claim for payment of family tax benefit by single payment/in substitution because of the death of another individual is based on eligibility for an amount of family tax benefit under subsection 32(2) or section 33 of the Family Assistance Act, the claim is not effective if it is made after the end of the income year following the one in which the death mentioned in that provision occurred.
