Subsection (2) applies to a person who is not receiving a social security payment but to whom a social security payment (other than utilities allowance or energy supplement under Part 2.25B of the 1991 Act) has at any time been paid.
The Secretary may give a person to whom this subsection applies a notice that requires the person to do either or both of the following:
inform the Department whether a specified event or change of circumstances has occurred;
give the Department a statement about a matter that might have affected the payment to the person of the social security payment.
Subsection (4) applies to a person who is not the holder of a concession card but has at any time held such a card.
The Secretary may give a person to whom this subsection applies a notice that requires the person to do either or both of the following:
inform the Department whether a specified event or change of circumstances has occurred;
give the Department a statement about a matter that might have affected the person’s qualification for the concession card.
An event or change of circumstances is not to be specified in a notice under this section unless the occurrence of the event or change of circumstances might have affected the payment of the social security payment or the person’s qualification for the concession card, as the case requires.
A person is not required to comply with a notice under this section if the notice requires the person to give information or a statement about an event or change of circumstances that occurred, or a matter that arose, more than 13 weeks before the giving of the notice.
