42SA  Immediate non‑payment of participation payments for certain failures
 (1) The Secretary may determine that a participation payment is not payable to a person if:
 (a) the person fails to participate, on a day, in an activity that the person is required to undertake by an employment pathway plan that is in force in relation to the person; or
 (b) the person fails to attend an appointment that the person is required to attend by an employment pathway plan that is in force in relation to the person; or
 (c) the person fails to comply with a reconnection requirement or a further reconnection requirement.
Note 1: If paragraph (1)(a) or (b) applies, a reconnection requirement must be imposed for that failure (see section 42G).
Note 2: The participation payment may not be payable to the person if the person fails to comply with a notice under section 63: see section 64.
 (2) The participation payment is not payable to the person for the period beginning on the day the person first commits the failure and ending at the end of:
 (a) the day before the day on which the person notifies the Secretary that the person intends to comply with:
 (i) for a failure referred to in paragraph (1)(a) or (b)—the reconnection requirement imposed on the person under paragraph 42G(e) because of that failure; or
 (ii) for a failure referred to in paragraph (1)(c)—the reconnection requirement or the further reconnection requirement referred to in that paragraph; or
 (b) if the Secretary determines that an earlier day is more appropriate than the day that would otherwise apply under paragraph (a)—that earlier day.
 (3) If a period ends under subsection (2) in relation to a person, then, subject to the social security law, the participation payment becomes payable to the person for that period.
