277A  How this Act applies to claims for dad and partner pay made in prescribed circumstances
 (1) This section applies to a claim for dad and partner pay that is made in circumstances prescribed by the PPL rules as being circumstances in which this section applies.
 (2) This Act (other than subsection 18(3), which deals with birth registration) applies in relation to the claim as if:
 (a) a reference to the birth of a child were a reference to the earlier of:
 (i) the claimant beginning to care for the child; and
 (ii) the claimant's partner (if any) beginning to care for the child; and
 (b) a reference to the day the child was born were a reference to the earlier of:
 (i) the day the claimant began to care for the child; and
 (ii) the day the claimant's partner (if any) began to care for the child; and
 (c) a reference to the expected date of birth of the child were a reference to the earlier of:
 (i) the day the claimant expects to begin to care for the child; and
 (ii) the day the claimant's partner (if any) expects to begin to care for the child; and
 (d) a reference to a child's first birthday were a reference to the first anniversary of the earlier of:
 (i) the day the claimant began to care for the child; and
 (ii) the day the claimant's partner (if any) began to care for the child; and
 (e) a reference to a completed birth verification form for a child were a reference to information required by the Secretary about the earlier of:
 (i) the claimant beginning to care for the child; and
 (ii) the claimant's partner (if any) beginning to care for the child; and
 (f) a reference to a child being born during the same multiple birth were a reference to:
 (i) unless subparagraph (ii) applies—the claimant beginning to care for the child at the same time as beginning to care for another child; or
 (ii) if the claimant's partner (if any) begins to care for the child before the claimant—the claimant's partner beginning to care for the child at the same time as beginning to care for another child.
 (3) This section does not limit Division 2 of this Part (which deals with how this Act applies to an adopted child).
Note: Not all circumstances to which paragraph 115DD(d) applies must be prescribed as being circumstances in which this section applies.
