The following table explains the provisions that apply when a person transfers between payments that are affected by the seasonal/intermittent work provisions.
|
If a claimant transfers from a payment… |
To a payment… |
Then the claimant… |
|
affected by a SWPP, |
also affected by a SWPP, |
MUST serve the remainder of the SWPP. |
|
affected by a SWPP, |
NOT affected by a SWPP, |
does NOT serve the remainder of the SWPP. |
|
NOT affected by a SWPP, |
affected by a SWPP, |
MUST serve a SWPP if applicable. |
Example 1: A claimant on NSA has 5 weeks of a SWPP remaining. They transfer to Age, which is a payment not affected by a SWPP. The claimant can be paid immediately as the remainder of the SWPP does not apply. This claimant may receive arrears of age pension if it is granted retrospectively.
Example 2: A claimant who transfers from SpB (non visa holder) to YA is transferring from a non-affected payment to a SWPP affected payment. An assessment would need to be made to see if the recipient needs to serve a SWPP.
Example 3: A person on PPP is serving a SWPP and then transfers to NSA. They still have 2 weeks remaining of their SWPP and will also be precluded from NSA until their SWPP has ended.
