 (1) This section applies to a debt if:
 (a) under section 82, the debt is recoverable by the Commonwealth by means of deductions from instalments of family tax benefit to which the person is entitled; or
 (b) the debt is a debt due by a person to the Commonwealth under the Social Security Act 1991.

 (2) The debt is to be deducted from instalments of family tax benefit to which the person is entitled in the following way:
 (a) the Secretary is to determine the amount by which each instalment of family tax benefit is to be reduced; and
 (b) each instalment of family tax benefit is to be reduced by the amount determined by the Secretary until the sum of those amounts, and any amounts recovered under the Social Security Act 1991, is equal to the debt.
