Explanatory note
This Amendment Paper amends the Social Security Amendment Bill. It requires money management to only be applied where the use of money management would improve the financial capabilities of the beneficiary. It is unusual for money management to be used as a punitive sanction, rather than a budgeting tool like in other jurisdictions. This amendment ensures that money management is only used where it will assist the beneficiary.
