When a scheme is approved, support payments people receive under that scheme are typically ignored when Centrelink calculates their Commonwealth benefits (like the Disability Support Pension or Age Pension).\n\n**Who it affects**\nACT residents who receive both:\n*   Commonwealth social security payments, **and**\n*   Personal care support from the ACT Government's Enhanced Service Offer\n\n**Why it matters**\nWithout this approval, the value of the ACT support could be counted as income or assets, potentially reducing the person's federal pension. This determination ensures people can access both the ACT support and their Commonwealth benefits without financial penalty."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/social-security-personal-care-support-act-government-enhanced-service-offer-fahcsia-determination-20","history":"/api/acts/social-security-personal-care-support-act-government-enhanced-service-offer-fahcsia-determination-20/history","analysis":"/api/acts/social-security-personal-care-support-act-government-enhanced-service-offer-fahcsia-determination-20/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/social-security-personal-care-support-act-government-enhanced-service-offer-fahcsia-determination-20/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/social-security-personal-care-support-act-government-enhanced-service-offer-fahcsia-determination-20/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/social-security-personal-care-support-act-government-enhanced-service-offer-fahcsia-determination-20/documents"}}
