Note:   The recording of the debiting of the initial amount may leave the person's income management account having a debit balance, but subsections   (2) and (3) allow a credit to that account of an amount equal to the initial amount.

Crediting of amounts

  (a)   credited to the Income Management Record; and

  (b)   credited to the person's income management account.

Debt

  (4)   If the Secretary makes a determination under subsection   (2), then an amount equal to the initial amount is a debt due by the person to the Commonwealth.
