1061ZAAU  Post‑transition fortnightly income

 (1) For the purposes of subparagraph 1061ZAAS(2)(a)(ii), a person's post‑transition fortnightly income is the sum of:
 (a) if the person is receiving a social security benefit on the relevant day—the person's provisional fortnightly payment rate for the benefit; and
 (b) if the person is receiving a social security pension on the relevant day—the person's provisional annual payment rate for the pension, expressed as a fortnightly rate; and
 (c) if the person is receiving remote area allowance in respect of a period that includes the relevant day—the person's remote area allowance for the period.

 (2) The relevant day for the purposes of subsection (1) is:
 (a) the start day for the person's Northern Territory CDEP transition payment; or
 (b) a later day determined by the Secretary.

 (3) Despite subsection (1), if the Secretary considers that a person's post‑transition fortnightly income as worked out under that subsection would not be appropriate in the person's circumstances, the person's post‑transition fortnightly income is the amount determined by the Secretary.

 (4) In making a determination under this section, the Secretary must have regard to the guidelines (if any) set out in rules made for the purposes of this section under section 1061ZAAW.
