Debts in respect of student start‑up loans
1223ABF Debts in respect of student start‑up loans
If:
a person is paid a student start‑up loan for a qualification period; and
the circumstances determined under subsection (2) apply to the person;
then:
the amount of the loan is a debt due to the Commonwealth; and
the debt is taken to have arisen when the person was paid the loan.
The Minister may, by legislative instrument, determine circumstances in which subsection (1) applies to a person who has not met, or who has ceased to meet, the condition in subparagraph 1061ZVBB(1)(a)(iii) or (2)(a)(iii).
Subsection (1) does not apply to a person if, in the Secretary’s opinion, the person did not meet, or ceased to meet, the condition in subparagraph 1061ZVBB(1)(a)(iii) or (2)(a)(iii) because of exceptional circumstances beyond the person’s control.
