Social Security Act 1991

This section applies where the claim was based on the effect of the unreceived income on the claimant’s special employment advance qualifying entitlement.

The total amount of the special employment advance payable to the claimant is to be the smallest of the following amounts:

the amount sought in the claim for the advance;

the amount by which the instalment, or the sum of the amounts by which the instalments, of the claimant’s special employment advance qualifying entitlement is or will be reduced because of the unreceived income;

$500;

if an amount of special employment advance previously paid to the claimant has not been repaid to, or recovered by, the Commonwealth—the difference between that amount and $500.
