CHILD CARE PAYMENTS ACT 1997 No. 195 of 1997 - SECT 37
Prospective and retrospective claims
(1) A person may claim child care assistance in one of 2 ways:
(a) the claim
may be for payment on an ongoing basis (see subsection (2))--this is a
prospective claim ; or
(b) the claim may be for payment in respect of a past period (see
subsection (3))--this is a retrospective claim .
Note: Child care
assistance is only payable in respect of sessions of care that occur
on or after the * payment commencement day. This applies both to
prospective and retrospective claims.
(2) Payment on an ongoing basis is payment starting from the * payment period
in which the claim is made or from a payment period that starts within 4 weeks
after the claim is made.
(3) The past period to which a * retrospective claim may relate must be a
period:
It must not include any part of the * maximum
assistance period in relation to an earlier claim made by the person.
(4) If a * retrospective claim relates to a period contrary to subsection (3),
the claim is taken not to relate to that period.
