Social Security Act 1991

If:

after a one‑off energy assistance payment under Part 2.6A is paid to a person, an underlying determination in relation to the person, at least so far as it relates to 2 April 2019 or to a period that includes that day, is or was (however described) changed, revoked, set aside, or superseded by another determination; and

the decision to change, revoke, set aside or supersede the underlying determination is or was made for the reason, or for reasons including the reason, that the person knowingly made a false or misleading statement, or knowingly provided false information; and

had the change, revocation, setting aside or superseding occurred on or before 2 April 2019, the one‑off energy assistance payment would not have been paid;

For the purposes of this section, an underlying determination in relation to a person is a determination made under Part 3 of the Administration Act because of which a benefit mentioned in subsection 302(2) of this Act was payable to the person.

Apart from section 1224AA, the other provisions of this Part under which debts arise do not apply in relation to one‑off energy assistance payments under Part 2.6A.
