SOCIAL SECURITY ACT 1991 No. 46, 1991 - SECT 319

319. If:

   (a)  a person's partner dies; and

   (b)  the person's provisional commencement day is within one month after
        the day on which the partner dies; and

   (c)  the person is qualified for widowed person allowance at some time in
        the period between the death of the partner and the
        provisional commencement day; the widowed person allowance can become
        payable before the provisional commencement day but cannot become
        payable to the person before the first day in the period on which the
        person is qualified.
Note 1: for "provisional commencement day" see section 318. Note 2: the
allowance will not necessarily be backdated to the day on which the person
becomes qualified - some other factor may make the allowance not payable at
that time.
