This determination says Centrelink must **completely ignore** this specific Great Barrier Reef assistance payment when doing their means test (the financial check to see if you qualify for benefits or how much you get).\n\n**Key condition:** You must have been receiving a social security payment at the time you received the Employment Assistance Payment for this exemption to apply."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-6-of-2004-facs","history":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-6-of-2004-facs/history","analysis":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-6-of-2004-facs/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-6-of-2004-facs/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-6-of-2004-facs/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/social-security-exempt-lump-sum-determination-no-6-of-2004-facs/documents"}}
