60 How to work out the rate of a person’s farm household allowance

(1) The rate of farm household allowance for a person who has not turned 22 is to be worked out using the Youth Allowance Rate Calculator, as if the person: (a) were independent within the meaning of section 1067A of the Social Security Act; and (b) were not an accommodated independent person within the meaning of section 1067B of that Act; and (c) were not a long term income support student within the meaning of section 1067F of that Act.

Note 1: Section 93 of this Act has the effect that a reference in the Youth Allowance Rate Calculator to youth allowance is taken to include a reference to farm household allowance.

Note 2: As the person is taken to be independent, the parental income test and the family actual means test (Modules F and G of the Youth Allowance Rate Calculator) will not apply.

(2) This section has effect subject to this Subdivision and Subdivision C. (3) To avoid doubt, sections 556A to 559J of the Social Security Act do not apply to the rate of farm household allowance for a person.
