 (a) a child died less than 4 weeks before 1 July 2000; and
 (b) at the time of the child's death, the child was the only PP child of a person; and
 (c) under section 512A of the Social Security Act 1991 as in force immediately before 1 July 2000, if that section had continued in force after that date, the person would, but for this item, have qualified to continue to receive that parenting payment for the period of 4 weeks that starts on the day following the day of the child's death;
so much of the parenting payment as would have been payable in respect of each day in that 4 week period that occurs after 30 June 2000:
 (d) continues to be payable as if section 512A of that Act as so in force had not been repealed but had so provided; and
 (e) is payable as a single lump sum on, or as soon as practicable after, 1 July 2000.

(2) For the purposes of Part 4 of the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999, a decision made for the purposes of section 512A of the Social Security Act 1991 as continued in force for the purposes of subitem (1) has effect as a decision of an officer under the social security law.
