630  When the period of non‑payment starts

 (1) The period for which newstart allowance is not payable to the person because of paragraph 629(1)(a) is taken to start, or to have started:
 (a) if the repeated failure is a failure of a kind referred to in paragraph 624(1)(h), (i) or (j)—at the start of the participation failure instalment period for the repeated failure; or
 (b) if paragraph (a) of this subsection does not apply and the repeated failure occurs during a participation failure instalment period for an earlier failure—at the start of the participation failure instalment period for the earlier failure; or
 (c) otherwise—at the start of the next instalment period of the person to start after the day on which the Secretary first became aware that the person committed the failure.

Note: For participation failure instalment period see subsection 626(3).

 (2) The period for which newstart allowance is not payable to the person because of section 629 (other than because of paragraph 629(1)(a)) starts on the day the Secretary determines that section 629 applies to the person.

 (3) However, if:
 (a) section 629 would not apply to the person but for the application of paragraph 629(1)(b) or (c), or both; and
 (b) at the time of the voluntary act or misconduct in question, the person was not receiving newstart allowance;
the period for which newstart allowance is not payable to the person starts at the time the person became unemployed as a result of the voluntary act or misconduct.
