Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Determination declares payments made to people for participating in the HILDA Survey to be an “exempt lump sum” for social security means‑testing under paragraph 8(11)(d) of the Social Security Act 1991, so those incentives are ignored when assessing eligibility and payment rates. It repeals the 2014 Determination on the same subject. The change directly affects HILDA respondents who receive incentive payments and the Department’s assessment of social security claims; it does not create new payments or broader entitlements.
