SOCIAL SECURITY ACT 1991 - SECT 1061ZZBQ

Secretary may request person obtaining financial supplement to give statement of parent's tax file number

Request for parent's tax file number

  (1)   If:

  (a)   a person (the recipient ) who is a category 2 student is obtaining financial supplement; and

  (b)   the income of a parent of the recipient is required to be taken into account for the purpose of working out the recipient's eligibility for financial supplement; and

  (c)   the parent is in Australia;

the Secretary may request, but not compel, the recipient to give the Secretary a written statement of the parent's tax file number.

Failure to satisfy request

  (2)   A recipient is not eligible to obtain financial supplement if, at the end of 28 days after the request is made:

  (a)   the recipient has failed to satisfy the request; and

  (b)   the Secretary has not exempted the recipient from having to satisfy the request.

  (3)   In this section:

"parent" has the same meaning as in paragraph   (b) of the definition of parent in subsection   5(1).

Note 1:   In some cases the request can be satisfied in relation to a parent by giving the Secretary a declaration by the parent about the parent's tax file number and an authority by the parent to the Commissioner of Taxation to give the Secretary certain information relevant to the parent's tax file number (see subsections   1061ZZAB(2) and (3).

Note 2:   The Secretary may waive the requirement in some cases (see subsection   1061ZZAB(4)).
