           Step 1. Work out the Commonwealth contribution amount using section 48‑1A.
           Step 2. Work out the shortfall amount using section 48‑13.
           Step 3. If subsection (3) does not apply, work out, using section 48‑17, the home care account balance in the care recipient's *home care account immediately before the approved provider gives to the Secretary, under section 47‑4, a claim in respect of the *payment period.
           Step 4. Identify:

                (a) if subsection (3) applies—the Commonwealth contribution amount; or
                (b) otherwise—the sum of the Commonwealth contribution amount and the home care account balance.

      This is the maximum contribution amount.
           Step 5. Identify the lesser of the following amounts (or either amount if they are the same):

                (a) the shortfall amount;
                (b) the maximum contribution amount.
      This is the amount of home care subsidy for the care recipient in respect of the *payment period.
 (3) This subsection applies if:
 (a) within the period specified in the Subsidy Principles before the day the approved provider gives to the Secretary, under section 47‑4, the claim in respect of the *payment period, another approved provider ceases to provide home care to the care recipient; or
 (b) any other circumstances specified in the Subsidy Principles apply.
