Social Security (Administration) Act 1999

In working out the annualised amount of maintenance income for the parent of a person for the purposes of the maintenance income test in Module GA of the Youth Allowance Rate Calculator in section 1067G of the 1991 Act, the Secretary may have regard to an estimate of the amount of maintenance income for a period made by, or given to, the Secretary, if the Secretary is satisfied that the estimate is reasonable.

If the Secretary has no reason to believe that there is any amount of maintenance income for the parent of the person for the period, the Secretary is taken to have had regard to an estimate of nil.
