87A  Setting off debts of an approved child care service against advances to be paid to the service

 (1) This section applies to a debt owed by an approved child care service if, under section 82, the debt is recoverable by the Commonwealth by means of setting off the debt against amounts of one or more advances to be paid to an approved child care service under section 219R.

 (2) The debt is to be set off, against advances paid to the service, in the following way:
 (a) the Secretary is to determine the amount by which each advance to the service is to be reduced; and
 (b) each advance to the service is to be reduced by the amount determined by the Secretary until the sum of those amounts is equal to the debt.
The Secretary may, from time to time, vary the amount by which the advances are to be reduced.

 (3) The amount of the debt and the amounts of the advances are reduced accordingly.
