Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies if the total of amounts paid to a person (the first person ) by way of PPL funding amounts in relation to instalments for another person for a child exceeds the total of amounts paid by the first person to, or in relation to, the other person by way of such instalments for the child.
(2) The amount of the excess is a debt due to the Commonwealth by the first person.
Example: If the first person has not paid any amounts by way of instalments to the other person, the amount of the excess is the total of amounts paid to the first person by way of PPL funding amounts in relation to instalments for the other person for the child.
(3) The debt under subsection (2) arises when subsection (1) starts to apply in relation to an amount paid to the first person.
Note: This section may apply to overpayments by way of PPL funding amounts or amounts that are mistakenly paid. For example, an overpayment or mistaken payment may arise due to administrative error or the revocation or setting aside of an employer determination.
