Residual funds when income management recommences

If SS(Admin)Act section 123WJ applies to a person, a residual amount is to be paid out within the 12 months after the person ceases to be subject to income management, in accordance with legislation.

If the person becomes subject to income management again, under either the same or a different measure, any funds that have not been disbursed to the person should remain in the person's income management account and continue to be subject to income management (11.1.11.20).
