By setting a $200 threshold, the Department can efficiently clear minor debts that would cost more to recover than they're worth.\n\n**Who it affects:** Veterans, their dependents, or estates who owe money to the Commonwealth under the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986.\n\n**The technical bit:** Under the Act, the Minister can specify \"classes of debts\" that can be waived (forgiven). This notice creates a class: debts under $200. It also revokes an earlier notice from 1988 that likely set a different threshold."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-notice-under-subparagraph-206-1-b-ii-22-09-1992","history":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-notice-under-subparagraph-206-1-b-ii-22-09-1992/history","analysis":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-notice-under-subparagraph-206-1-b-ii-22-09-1992/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-notice-under-subparagraph-206-1-b-ii-22-09-1992/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-notice-under-subparagraph-206-1-b-ii-22-09-1992/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-notice-under-subparagraph-206-1-b-ii-22-09-1992/documents"}}
