#### 67 When HELP balance may be re‑credited
A student’s HELP balance may be re‑credited under this Part only if an amount of a VET student loan has been used to pay tuition fees for the student for a course, or a part of a course.
> Note 1: If the student’s HELP balance cannot be re‑credited under this Part because of this provision, the Secretary may decide not to pay the loan amount for the student for the course: see section 20.
> Note 2: If a student’s HELP balance is re‑credited under Division 2 or 3 of this Part, the student’s VETSL debt is taken to be remitted to the extent to which the debt relates to the loan amount concerned: see section 23BA. (For remission of debts incurred before 1 July 2019, see section 137‑19 of the Higher Education Support Act 2003).
