11.1.10 Recovery of Debited Funds under Income Management Home | DSS | PM&C | Education | AGD | Contact us Guide to Social Security Law
This section explains the steps taken by the delegate for the recovery of income managed funds when debts have been incurred.
Income management debts, which arise under SS(Admin)Act, Part 3B Division 8, may be processed through methods identical to the debt recovery methods in SSAct Part 5.3. These debts will be recovered as quickly and efficiently as possible without causing real financial hardship to debtors (see 6.7.2).
This will make available a range of recovery methods, including:
deductions from the person's pension, benefit or allowance (SSAct section 1231), legal proceedings (section 1232), garnishee notice (section 1233), arrangement for payment of debt (section 1234), recovery of amounts from financial institutions (section 1234AA), and deductions by consent from the social security payment of a third party (section 1234A).
The non-recovery provisions in SSAct Part 5.4 also apply to this category of debts. That is, in certain circumstances, it will be possible for the delegate to waive or write-off income management debts.
