If they fall into financial hardship, they cannot claim Special Benefit payments until they have lived in Australia for a set waiting period (usually 2 to 4 years).\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nSpecial Benefit is a safety-net payment for people in severe financial need who don't qualify for other welfare. This determination means that, unlike some other humanitarian visa holders, people on Safe Haven Enterprise Visas must serve the full waiting period before accessing this safety net, even if they have no other income or support."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2015l00534","history":"/api/acts/f2015l00534/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2015l00534/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2015l00534/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2015l00534/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2015l00534/documents"}}
