Social Security (Administration) Act 1999

For the purposes of this Part, a person is subject to the enhanced income management regime at a particular time (the test time) if:

at the test time, the person, or the person’s partner, is an eligible recipient of a category A welfare payment; and

the Queensland Commission gave the Secretary a written notice requiring that the person be subject to the enhanced income management regime under this section; and

the notice was given under a law of Queensland; and

at the test time, the notice had not been withdrawn or revoked and had not expired; and

if, at the test time, the person has a Part 3B payment nominee—that nominee is subject to the enhanced income management regime or is subject to the income management regime (within the meaning of Part 3B).

Paragraph (1)(b) is taken to be satisfied if, on or after 6 March 2023, the Queensland Commission gave the Secretary a written notice requiring that the person be subject to the income management regime under Part 3B.

For the purposes of this Part, a person is subject to the enhanced income management regime at a particular time (the test time) on or after 6 March 2023 if:

at the test time, the person, or the person’s partner, is an eligible recipient of a category A welfare payment; and

subsection (3) applies in relation to the person; and

if, at the test time, the person has a Part 3B payment nominee—that nominee is subject to the enhanced income management regime or is subject to the income management regime (within the meaning of Part 3B).

This subsection applies in relation to a person if:

immediately before 6 March 2023, subitem 97(2) or (4) of Schedule 1 to the Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Act 2020 applies in relation to the person and a notice; and

immediately before 6 March 2023, the person was a program participant under section 124PGD.

Subsection (3) ceases to apply in relation to the person if on or after 6 March 2023 the notice referred to in paragraph (3)(a) is withdrawn or revoked by the Queensland Commission or expires.

This section applies on and after 6 March 2023 despite item 97 of Schedule 1 to the Social Security (Administration) Amendment (Continuation of Cashless Welfare) Act 2020.
