1.1.T.90 Transfer day

Definition

The transfer day is the day on which the obligation to pay an instalment of PLP transfers from an employer to Centrelink because:

  • an employer determination has been reviewed or revoked
  • a matter has been referred to the FWO, or
  • the individual's continuous flexible period (1.1.C.145) has ceased.

Where an employer seeks a review of an employer determination the transfer day may occur if the employer determination has not come into force and it is more than 28 days after the person's continuous flexible period start date.

Where an employer determination is revoked, the transfer day is the day the revocation comes into force.

Where a relevant matter is referred to the FWO, the transfer day is the day after the last day for which the employer received a PPL funding amount for the person. The instalment period of the last instalment payable by the employer ends on the day before the transfer day. The instalment period for the first instalment payable by Centrelink starts on the transfer day.
