This instrument classifies dairy exit payments as **\"exempt lump sums\"** — meaning Centrelink must ignore this money when calculating your entitlements.\n\n**When it applies**\n\nTo any dairy exit payments received on or after **1 July 2000**."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-2-of-2000-facs","history":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-2-of-2000-facs/history","analysis":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-2-of-2000-facs/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-2-of-2000-facs/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-2-of-2000-facs/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-2-of-2000-facs/documents"}}
