Income support supplement may not be payable in some circumstances
45B Income support supplement may not be payable in some circumstances
Even though a person is eligible for income support supplement, income support supplement may not be payable to the person because:
the pension has not commenced to be payable (see section 45C); or
the person is in gaol or in psychiatric confinement (see sections 55 and 55A); or
a person is receiving an age service pension, an invalidity service pension, a veteran payment, a social security pension, a social security benefit or another income support supplement (see section 45D); or
the pension is cancelled or suspended:
under this Act (see sections 56E, 56EA, 56J and 56K); or
under Part 3C (schooling requirements) of the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999; or
See section 124E of the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999.
the person has not provided a tax file number for the person or the person’s partner (see section 128A); or
the person or the person’s partner is entitled to receive compensation (see Division 3 of Part IIIC).
Subject to subsection (3), income support supplement is not payable to a person if the person’s income support supplement rate would be nil.
A person whose rate might otherwise be nil under the Rate Calculator may not have a nil rate after the application of the financial hardship provisions (sections 52Y and 52Z).
Subsection (2) does not apply to a person if the person’s income support supplement rate is nil merely because of the operation of Part IVA.
