Authoritative Version
Determinations/Social Security as made
This instrument modifies the Social Security Act 1991 (the Act) in respect of the rates of payment paid to some people who claim a social security payment between 23 March 2020 and 29 March 2020. It also applies to modify the Act in respect of the rates of payment paid to people who are taken to have made a claim for one of these payments under subsection 13(3B) or 13(3C) of the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999. For people to whom this determination applies, and who only qualified for a social security payment on 25 March 2020 because of the commencement of Schedule 11 of the Coronavirus Economic Response Package Omnibus Act 2020 on that day (or the Coronavirus Economic Response-2020 Measures No.1 Determination 2020, which commenced on the same day), this determination will ensure that the first instalment of a person’s payment will include an additional amount that represents two days’ worth of their daily rate of payment.
