About this bill
Under current Social Security legislation, ex gratia or compensatory payments made to people who have been subject to abuse while in State care must be spent within 1 year or it will be counted as income and cash assets for the purpose of receiving a primary or supplementary benefit. This bill seeks to correct this unintended consequence.
