277  Caring for a child when a child is stillborn or dies
 (1) If:
 (a) a claim is made for parental leave pay for a child; and
 (b) before or after the claim is made, the child is stillborn or dies;
then this Act (other than sections 31AA and 47) applies as if a reference to the claimant caring for the child were a reference to the claimant caring for the child had the child not been stillborn or died.
Note: Section 31AA deals with eligibility for parental leave pay and section 47 defines when a person is caring for a child.
 (2) The PPL rules may modify the operation of subsection (1).
