Meaning of remote area allowance
 1068B‑G3 In point 1068B‑G2, remote area allowance means:
 (a) an amount added to a person's social security pension or benefit by way of remote area allowance; or
 (b) a remote area allowance payable under point SCH6‑G1 of the VEA.

FTB or regular care child must be present in Australia
 1068B‑G4 Additional allowance is not payable for an FTB child, or a regular care child, unless the child is physically present in Australia.

Special rule where partner has an FTB or regular care child but is not receiving additional allowance for the child
 1068B‑G5 If:
 (a) an amount of remote area allowance is to be added to the person's rate; and
 (b) the person's partner has an FTB child or a regular care child; and
 (c) the person's partner is not receiving an additional amount of remote area allowance for the child;
the child is taken, for the purposes of this Module, to be an FTB child, or a regular care child, (as the case requires) of the person.

Special rule dealing with the death of an FTB or regular care child
 1068B‑G6 If an FTB child, or a regular care child, of a person dies, this Module has effect, for a period of 14 weeks after the death of the child, as if the child had not died.
Note: This point does not prevent this Module having the effect it would have had if the child would otherwise have ceased to be an FTB child, or a regular care child, during that 14 weeks.
