The Secretary cannot make a determination under section 13 or 14 that parental leave pay is payable to a person for a flexible PPL day for a child unless the person has made:
(a) an effective PPL claim for parental leave pay for that day (in which case the person is a PPL claimant); or
(b) an effective special PPL claim for parental leave pay for that day (in which case the person is a special PPL claimant).
Note: See Part 2 - 4 for the rules about how to make an effective claim.
