A NEW TAX SYSTEM (FAMILY ASSISTANCE) (ADMINISTRATION) ACT 1999 - SECT 65D

             (1)  If:

                     (b)  after the determination is made, an event occurs; and

                     (c)  the determination of conditional eligibility has, at some time after the event, the effect that the claimant is conditionally eligible ; and

                     (d)  when the Secretary becomes aware of the change, the Secretary considers that, if he or she were making the determination of a weekly limit of hours immediately after the event, the weekly limit of hours would be different to the weekly limit of hours previously determined;

the Secretary must, subject to subsection (3), vary the determination of a weekly limit of hours so as to determine the weekly limit of hours with the effect from the day of the occurrence.

             (2)  For the purpose of subsection (1), the occurrence includes the expiration of a period of time if the expiration is relevant to the operation of this Act.

Beneficial variations only to have limited effect

                     (b)  the claimant did not notify the Secretary of the event before the end of the second income year; and

                     (c)  apart from this subsection, the Secretary would be required by subsection (1) to vary the determination so as to increase the claimant's weekly limit of hours under the determination;

the Secretary must vary the determination so that it has that effect only from the beginning of the income year that precedes the one in which the Secretary becomes aware of the event.

Variations under subsection 59(2), section 59F and section 62C prevail
