Social Security (Administration) Act 1999

This Part applies to a person (a schooling requirement person) in relation to another person (a child) at a particular time if:

either of the following applies at that time in relation to a schooling requirement payment:

a claim by the person for the payment is being determined (under this Act or the Veterans’ Entitlements Act);

a claim by the person for the payment has been granted, and the payment has not been cancelled (under this Act or the Veterans’ Entitlements Act); and

either:

the child is a schooling requirement child of the person at that time; or

the child was a schooling requirement child of the person at any time within a period provided by the schooling requirement determination before that time; and

the child is required, under a law of a State or Territory:

to be enrolled at a school; or

to attend a school at times required under that law.

If this Part ceases to apply to a person while the person’s schooling requirement payment is suspended under this Part, then, despite that cessation, section 124J, 124N or 124NG, as the case requires, is taken to apply in relation to the person and, for this purpose, the reconsideration day for the purposes of that section is taken to be the day of that cessation.

Sections 124J, 124N and 124NG deal with when payments become payable after suspension.
