Section 1214 — Social Security Act 1991: Some payments generally portable with no time limit

Note 1: Section 1217 defines the person’s maximum portability period for the payment. Note 2: However, the person’s rate of payment may be affected after 26 weeks—see Division 3. (2) This section is subject to section 1220.
