22 When top‑up supplement applies

The top‑up supplement applies to a care recipient (in this Division called an eligible care recipient) in respect of a day (the relevant day) if: (a) on a day (the eligibility start day) within the period of 28 days ending immediately before 1 August 2013, the care recipient was being provided with care in respect of a place allocated for the provision of flexible care in the form of extended aged care at home—dementia; and (b) during the relevant day, there was in force a home care agreement under which the care recipient was to be provided with home care level 4 by an approved provider, whether or not the care was to be provided on the relevant day; and (c) there has not been 28 consecutive days within the period beginning on the eligibility start day and ending on the relevant day during which: (i) care of a kind mentioned in paragraph (a); or (ii) home care in accordance with a home care agreement; was not provided to the care recipient.

Note: If the provision of home care to the care recipient is suspended for a period under section 46‑2 of the Act, the home care agreement under which the home care is provided is taken to remain in force during the suspension period, and the care recipient is taken to have been provided with home care, as required by the agreement, on each day of the suspension period: see the Home Care Subsidy Principles 2013.
