#### 4A Adjusted subsidy amount of CCS
(1) This clause applies in relation to a session of care if the amount (the actual fee) the individual or the individual’s partner is liable to pay for the session of care is less than the sum of:
(a) the basic subsidy amount of CCS for the individual for the session; and
(b) the amount of a payment prescribed by the Minister’s rules for the purposes of paragraph 2(2A)(c) which the individual benefits from in respect of the session.
(2) For the purposes of step 5 of the method statement in clause 1, the adjusted subsidy amount of CCS, for the sessions of care identified in step 3 of the method statement, is the sum of:
(a) for each session of care to which this clause applies—the amount worked out by reducing the basic subsidy amount of CCS for the session by the excess amount; and
(b) for each session of care to which this clause does not apply—the basic subsidy amount of CCS for the session.
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(a), the excess amount, in relation to a session of care, is:
(a) an amount equal to the difference between:
(i) the sum of the amounts mentioned in paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) for the session; and
(ii) the actual fee for the session; or
(b) if another method for working out the amount is prescribed by the Minister’s rules—an amount worked out in accordance with that method.
