#### 24HA How to work out an individual’s above base energy supplement amount
(1) The individual’s above base energy supplement amount for the maintenance income is the difference between:
(a) the individual’s energy supplement (Part A) under Subdivision A of Division 2AA of Part 5 (clause 38AA) for the FTB children of the individual in respect of whom the individual, or the individual’s partner, is entitled to apply for maintenance income from the maintenance payer; and
(b) the individual’s energy supplement (Part A) under Subdivision B of Division 2AA of Part 5 (clause 38AF) for those children (assuming that the individual’s Part A rate were calculated under Part 3).
(2) However, the individual’s above base energy supplement amount for the maintenance income is nil if paragraph (cb) of step 1 of the method statement in clause 3 does not apply to the individual because of clause 6A.
