Because this Determination approves the scheme, those payments are generally **exempt from the income test**, allowing recipients to keep both their state funding and full Commonwealth benefits.\n\n**In simple terms**: It prevents a Tasmanian disability funding program from being penalised by Centrelink."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/social-security-self-directed-funding-tasmania-program-determination-2015","history":"/api/acts/social-security-self-directed-funding-tasmania-program-determination-2015/history","analysis":"/api/acts/social-security-self-directed-funding-tasmania-program-determination-2015/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/social-security-self-directed-funding-tasmania-program-determination-2015/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/social-security-self-directed-funding-tasmania-program-determination-2015/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/social-security-self-directed-funding-tasmania-program-determination-2015/documents"}}
