A person to whom farm household allowance is payable may qualify for the activity supplement if he or she undertakes, or will undertake, an activity specified in the person's financial improvement agreement.

The person may elect to have the supplement paid directly to the person or to the service provider for the activity.

The person may be paid the activity supplement more than once. However, in total the person will receive no more than a maximum amount.

The amount of the supplement payable to the person is the cost of the activity (up to a maximum amount).

The rules dealing with how to make claims, how payments are made and review of decisions relating to the supplement are found in the Social Security Act and the Social Security Administration Act. (This is because Part   5 of this Act applies the Social Security Act and the Social Security Administration Act in relation to the supplement.)
