Social Security and Other Legislation Amendment (Income Support for Students) Act 2010 (17 of 2010)

Schedule 2   Scholarship payments for students

Part 1   Main amendments

Social Security Act 1991

4B   Transitional rule for relocation scholarship payment

(1) This item applies if:

(a) a person qualifies for a relocation scholarship payment on or after 1 July 2010 but before 29 July 2010 because the person is not independent (see section 1067A of the Social Security Act 1991) but is required to live away from home (see section 1067D of that Act); and

(b) the person undertakes full-time study in an approved scholarship course on 1 April 2010; and

(c) the earliest time at which the person was required to live away from home (see section 1067D of that Act) in connection with the course was not more than 6 months before the person started full-time study in the course in 2010.

(2) Subsection 592L(2) of the Social Security Act 1991 does not apply to affect the amount of the first relocation scholarship payment to the person.

Note: The amount of that relocation scholarship payment to the person will therefore be $4,000 (under subsection 592L(1) of the Social Security Act 1991) unless subsection 592L(3) of that Act applies.
