Amendment Paper

Social Security Amendment Bill

Proposed amendments

Ricardo Menéndez March, in Committee, to move the following amendments:

Clause 15

In clause 15, new section 236A, after subsection (5) (page 17, after line 28), insert:

(5A)

P’s eligibility to receive any temporary additional support under subpart 16 of Part 2 is not affected by the imposition of money management under this section.

In clause 15, new section 236B, after subsection (4) (page 19, after line 36), insert:

(4A)

P’s eligibility to receive any temporary additional support under subpart 16 of Part 2 is not affected by the imposition of community work experience under this section.

Explanatory note

This Amendment Paper amends the Social Security Amendment Bill. It would prevent a beneficiary from losing eligibility for hardship assistance when sanctioned with money management or community work experience. This ensures that these sanctions function as “non-financial” sanctions, and don’t risk people being plunged into poverty due to inadequate incomes and no additional support.
