SOCIAL SECURITY (ADMINISTRATION) ACT 1999 - SECT 23

Last bonus period a part-year period

(1): If a person's last bonus period is a part-year period, the lodgment period for a claim by the person for pension bonus is:

(a): the period of 13 weeks beginning at the end of that bonus period; or
(b): if the Secretary allows a longer period—that longer period.

However, this subsection does not apply if:

(c): the person is an exempt partnered person (see subsection 24(2)) at the end of the person's last bonus period; or
(d): the person's membership of the pension bonus scheme becomes non-accruing immediately after the end of the person's last bonus period; or
(e): the person is a post-75 member of the pension bonus scheme and has a post-75 work period (see subsection 26(2)).

(2): If:

(a): subsection (1) applies to a person's claim for pension bonus; and
(b): the claim is lodged within a period allowed under paragraph (1)(b);

Division 6 of Part 2.2A of the 1991 Act has effect, in relation to the calculation of the amount of that pension bonus, as if the person had not accrued the part-year bonus period.
