24  Before subsection 47(1)
Insert:

Payment of baby bonus
 (1AA) If the claimant is entitled to be paid baby bonus, the Secretary must, after each of the first 13 instalment periods that end after the determination granting the claim is made, pay to the claimant 1/13 of the amount of baby bonus that the claimant is entitled to be paid. The Secretary must pay it at such time as the Secretary considers appropriate and to the credit of a bank account nominated and maintained by the claimant.
 (1AB) However, the Secretary may direct that the whole or a part of an amount which is to be paid for the purposes of subsection (1AA) is to be paid in a manner other than by payment to the credit of a bank account nominated and maintained by the claimant. If the Secretary gives the direction, the amount is to be paid in accordance with the direction (despite that subsection).
