 (b) the person is not covered by a determination under section 62ZZ; and
 (c) APRA becomes aware that the person has made an interim claim for payment of part or parts of the person's entitlement under section 62ZZF (whether or not the person has made a previous interim claim for such a payment); and
 (d) APRA determines, under subsection (2), the amount of the interim claim mentioned in paragraph (c) that ought to be recognised as valid; and
