115AA  Guide to this Part

      This Part has the key provisions for this Chapter (which deals with dad and partner pay).
      A person can only be paid dad and partner pay if the Secretary makes a determination that dad and partner pay is payable to the person. Part 3A‑2 has the rules about when the Secretary can make that determination.
      The Secretary cannot make that determination if the person has not made a claim for dad and partner pay.
      If the Secretary makes a determination that dad and partner pay is payable to a person for a child, the amount of dad and partner pay is worked out by reference to the period for which the person is eligible for dad and partner pay. This period is the person's DAPP period. The maximum period for which any person may be eligible for dad and partner pay is 2 weeks. A person's DAPP period may be the full 2 weeks or a lesser period (if the person is not eligible for dad and partner pay for that full period).
      Generally, dad and partner pay is paid by the Secretary as a single payment.
