 3A.2.1 On the day (the decision day) that the Commission determines that a person is eligible for a clean energy advance for a clean energy underlying payment, the Commission must work out the amount of the advance.
Note: The advance will be paid in a lump sum as soon as is reasonably practicable: see paragraph 3A.6.1.
 3A.2.2 The amount of the advance is the result of the following formula rounded up to the nearest multiple of $10:

 (ii) for someone in circumstances the same as the person's on the clean energy advance eligibility day; and
 (b) rounding the result of paragraph (a) up or down to the nearest multiple of 10 cents (rounding up if that result is not a multiple of 10 cents but is a multiple of 5 cents); and
 (c) adding 20 cents to the result of paragraph (b); and
 (d) dividing the result of paragraph (c) by 14.
