(5) The Secretary is required to consult the recipient before directing that the debt, or part of the debt, be recovered as mentioned in subsection (4).

How this section applies to entitlements that relate to activities of another person (otherwise than as a member of staff)
 (6) For the purpose of this section, if:
 (a) a payment is made, or goods, services or facilities are provided, purportedly in respect of an entitlement of a person (the first person) to a benefit under this Act; and
 (b) the purported benefit relates to activities of another person, other than activities as a member of staff of the first person;
then the payment, or the provision of goods, services or facilities, constitutes a payment or provision that is purportedly by way of benefit to the first person (rather than the other person).
Note: For example, if a benefit relates to travel of the first person's spouse, any debt under this section in relation to the purported provision of such a benefit is recoverable from the first person (rather than the spouse).
