Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies if:
(a) an individual is paid a clean energy advance; and
(b) after the advance is paid, one of the following events happens to a determination that directly or indirectly affects the payability or amount of the advance paid to the individual:
(i) the determination is changed, revoked or set aside;
(ii) the determination is superseded by another determination; and
