Social Security Act 1991

This section applies for the purposes of a provision of this or another Act if:

the provision provides a benefit (whether the benefit is a pension, benefit, payment, supplement or any other sort of benefit) if a person meets specified criteria; and

one of the specified criteria is that the person is receiving a social security payment, or is a recipient of a social security payment.

For the purposes of the provision, a person is not taken to be receiving a social security payment, or to be a recipient of a social security payment, merely because the person receives an essential medical equipment payment.
