7                    Amounts to be credited
    For paragraph 78(1)(b) of the PGPA Act, amounts equal to the following are allowed to be credited to the special account:
       (a)    amounts received in accordance with a determination of the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission in relation to the death of a member of the Defence Force;
       (b)   amounts received for the benefit of a person resulting from a claim made under the SRC Act or the MRC Act in relation to the death of a member of the Defence Force.

         Note 1 An Appropriation Act may provide that if any of the purposes of a special account are covered by an item in those Acts (whether or not the item expressly refers to the special account), then amounts may be debited against the appropriation for that item and credited to the special account.
         Note 2 Subsection 58 (5) of the PGPA Act provides that the proceeds of an investment of an amount debited from a special account must be credited to that special account.
         Note 3  Section 74 of the PGPA Act has the effect that if an amount expended from a special account is repaid to the Commonwealth, that amount must be re-credited to that special account.
         Note 4 Section 74A of the PGPA Act has the effect of increasing the appropriation under section 78 of the PGPA Act for the purposes of this special account (and thereby increasing this special account's balance). The increase is of an amount equivalent to any GST amount that is recoverable in relation to a payment, and occurs immediately before the payment is made.
         Note 3 Where an amount equal to an amount debited from the special account is repaid to the Commonwealth, the amount may be credited to the special account under paragraph 74(1)(b) of the PGPA Act and s 27(5) of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014.
