Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This determination restricts who can volunteer for a social security trial (an income management program). Only older Australians can volunteer; everyone else is blocked from signing up.

Specifically, the rule says that if you are not either:

Already at pension age (currently 67, but was lower in 2016), or
Turning pension age within the next 12 months from when the trial started in your area

...then you fall into the class of people who may not be voluntary participants. In plain terms: if you're younger than retirement age, you cannot choose to join this trial even if you want to. The trial is limited to voluntary participants who are already seniors or about to become seniors.
