500ZF  When the period of non‑payment starts

 (1) The period for which parenting payment is not payable to the person because of paragraph 500ZE(1)(a) is taken to start, or to have started:
 (a) if the repeated failure occurs during a participation failure instalment period for an earlier failure—at the start of the participation failure instalment period for the earlier failure; or
 (b) otherwise—at the start of the next instalment period of the person to start after the day on which the Secretary first became aware that the person committed the failure.

Note: For participation failure instalment period see subsection 500ZB(3).

 (2) The period for which parenting payment is not payable to the person because of section 500ZE (other than because of paragraph 500ZE(1)(a)) starts on the day the Secretary determines that section 500ZE applies to the person.

 (3) However, if:
 (a) section 500ZE would not apply to the person but for the application of paragraph 500ZE(1)(b) or (c), or both; and
 (b) at the time of the voluntary act or misconduct in question, the person was not receiving parenting payment;
the period for which parenting payment is not payable to the person starts at the time the person became unemployed as a result of the voluntary act or misconduct.
