Insert:

Partner of former recipient with employment
 (3A) Subject to subsection (4), this section applies to a person who is a member of a couple if:
 (a) the person's partner is qualified for a pensioner concession card under this section because:
 (i) subsection (2) applies to the partner because of the occurrence of the event or change of circumstances covered by that subsection and the partner ceasing to be qualified for disability support pension; or
 (ii) subsection (3) applies to the partner because of the occurrence of the event or change of circumstances covered by that subsection and disability support pension ceasing to be payable to the partner; and
 (b) immediately before the event or change of circumstances, the person was receiving an age pension, disability support pension or carer payment; and
 (c) the person's pension or payment ceases to be payable to the person because the rate of the person's pension or payment is nil; and
 (d) the person's cessation of payability occurs because of the occurrence of the same event or change of circumstances that resulted in the partner's cessation of qualification or payability.
 (3B) To avoid doubt, if the person ceases to be a member of the couple after that event or change of circumstances, the person's qualification for a pensioner concession card because of subsection (3A) is not affected.
