660M  Death of child—continuation of newstart allowance rate for 14 weeks

  If:
 (a) a person is receiving newstart allowance; and
 (b) the person is the principal carer of a child who dies; and
 (c) apart from this section, the person's rate of newstart allowance would be reduced because the person is no longer the child's principal carer;
the person's rate of newstart allowance, during the period of 14 weeks that starts on the day of the child's death, is to be worked out as if the child had not died.

Note: For principal carer see subsections 5(15) to (24).
