9 Amount of resolution payment
(1) For paragraph 3(1)(g) of Schedule 3, the amount of a resolution payment that a person is entitled to be paid in relation to a particular relevant debt of the person is the amount specified in Column 2 of the table which corresponds to the value of the debt that applies under Column 1 (the debt value). (2) Subject to subsection (3), the debt value of a particular relevant debt of the person is the amount that is recorded in the records of Services Australia as at 30 January 2026.
Note: Services Australia was previously known as the Human Services Department and subsection 23(1) of the Social Security Act 1991 defines the Human Services Department as Services Australia.
The debt value of a debt does not include any amount that has been waived in relation to the debt. Any payment by, or on behalf of, a person to reduce the amount of a debt of the person is not to be taken into account in determining the debt value of the debt.
