Supplementary Order Paper

Tuesday, 17 November 2015

Social Security (Commencement of Benefits) Amendment Bill

Proposed amendment

Carmel Sepuloni, in Committee, to move the following amendment:

Clause 2

In clause 2, after “on the day” (page 1, line 6), insert “that is 6 weeks”.

Explanatory note

This Supplementary Order Paper amends clause 2 so as to delay the commencement of the Bill for 6 weeks. This would give people who have been penalised by the incorrect payment of benefits a window in which to lodge a claim for back payment, in line with natural justice requirements.
