83 Deductions from family assistance (general)

(1)
Sections 84 , 85 and 92 provide for debt recovery by deductions from family assistance in the following situations:

(a) section 84 - recovery of a debt owed by a person who is receiving family assistance;

(b) section 85 - recovery of a debt owed by an approved child care service who is receiving group payments;

(c) section 92 - recovery of a debt by consent from a person other than the debtor.

(2)
For the purposes of this Division, a person is taken to be receiving family assistance even if the person is only to be paid a single payment (for example, a lump sum payment paid pursuant to a retrospective claim or a payment of arrears to cover earlier underpayments). In such a case, a deduction from the single payment may be made under the relevant section.
