Electing to receive quarterly energy supplement
915A Electing to receive quarterly energy supplement
If:
Part 2.25C (about quarterly pension supplement) does not apply to a person in relation to a social security payment the person is receiving; and
energy supplement is used to work out the rate of that social security payment;
the person may, in a manner or way approved by the Secretary, make an election to receive the person’s energy supplement under this Division as a separate social security payment.
The person could make an election under subsection 1061VA(1) if Part 2.25C applies to the person in relation to the social security payment. That election would cause quarterly energy supplement to be payable (see section 915).
An election comes into force as soon as practicable after it is made.
An election ceases to be in force if the person ceases to receive a social security payment (a main payment) calculated using a Rate Calculator that has an energy supplement Module.
The person may, in a manner or way approved by the Secretary, revoke an election. A revocation takes effect as soon as practicable after it happens.
