Transitional
-
varying CCB % determinations
Secretary may vary CCB % determinations between commencement and 6 July 2008

If:
(a)
at the commencement of this item, a determination of CCB % under section
50J
of the Family Assistance Administration Act is in force in respect of a claimant who is an individual; and
(b)
the Secretary considers that, if the Secretary were making the determination of CCB % on 7 July 2008, the CCB % determined on 7 July (the
new CCB %
) would be different from the CCB % at commencement (the
current CCB %
);
the Secretary may, in writing, vary the determination of CCB % so that the claimant
'
s CCB % is the new CCB %.

A variation under subitem (1) has effect for the purposes of the Family Assistance Administration Act from 7 July 2008.
