Payment of stillborn baby payment
47 Payment of stillborn baby payment
If the claimant is entitled to be paid a stillborn baby payment, the Secretary must pay the amount of the payment to the claimant in a single lump sum:
on the day that the Secretary considers to be the earliest day on which it is reasonably practicable for the amount to be paid; and
to the credit of a bank account nominated and maintained by the claimant.
Payment not to bank account
However, the Secretary may direct that an amount that is to be paid under subsection (1) is to be paid in a way other than by payment to the credit of a bank account nominated and maintained by the claimant. A direction has effect accordingly.
