Under subsection 44A(1) of the Act, certain benefits are not payable in respect of a person unless the Secretary is given the person's tax file number.

However, under subsection 44A(4) of the Act, such a benefit may be paid in respect of a person in prescribed circumstances even though the person's tax file number has not been given to the Secretary.

This Part prescribes those circumstances in relation to the ABSTUDY Scheme and the Assistance for Isolated Children Scheme.
