Payment of amounts to payment nominee
219TF Payment of amounts to payment nominee
If:
a person has a payment nominee; and
the whole or a part of a relevant benefit is payable to the person; and
the Secretary has given a direction in relation to the relevant benefit under section 219TB;
the relevant benefit is to be paid in accordance with the direction.
An amount paid to the payment nominee of a person:
is paid to the payment nominee on behalf of the person; and
is taken, for the purposes of the family assistance law (other than this Part), to have been paid to the person and to have been so paid when it was paid to the nominee.
An amount that is to be paid to the payment nominee of a person must be paid to the credit of a bank account nominated and maintained by the nominee.
The Secretary may direct that the whole or a part of an amount that is to be paid to a payment nominee be paid to the payment nominee in a different way from that provided for by subsection (3). If the Secretary gives such a direction, an amount to which the direction relates is to be paid in accordance with the direction.
