Module BB—Clean energy supplement

When clean energy supplement is to be added

 SCH6‑BB1 A clean energy supplement is to be added to the person's maximum basic rate (of service pension) if the person is residing in Australia and:
 (a) is in Australia; or
 (b) is temporarily absent from Australia and has been so for a continuous period not exceeding 13 weeks.

Note: Section 65A may affect the addition of the clean energy supplement.

 SCH6‑BB2 However, this Module does not apply if quarterly clean energy supplement for service pension is payable to the person.

Amount of clean energy supplement

 SCH6‑BB3 The person's clean energy supplement is worked out by:
 (a) applying the applicable percentage in the following table to the clean energy pension rate; and
 (b) rounding the result of paragraph (a) up or down to the nearest multiple of $2.60 (rounding up if that result is not a multiple of $2.60 but is a multiple of $1.30).
