51  Guide to this Part

      This Part is about claims for parental leave pay. A person cannot be paid parental leave pay unless the person has first made a claim for it.
      Division 2 sets out the rules about claims. There are 2 types of claims: PPL claims and special PPL claims. These claims relate to each other, although PPL claims are the main type of claim. PPL claims will often be the only claims that are made. Section 54 sets out who can make each type of claim.
      The Secretary cannot make a payability determination on a claim unless it is an effective claim. To be effective, the claim must be made by the right person and satisfy the requirements in the provisions listed in section 55. One of those requirements is that the claim must be in the form, and contain the information, required by the Secretary (see section 56). Another requirement is that the claim must be made in the period set out in section 60.
