Section 1237AAA — Social Security Act 1991: Waiver of small debt

The Secretary must waive the right to recover a debt if the debt is, or is likely to be, less than $250. Note 1: This amount is indexed on each 1 July (see sections 1191 to 1194). Note 2: Section 1237AAE limits the circumstances in which an assurance of support debt may be waived under this section, and the amount of the debt that may be waived. Note 3: If the Secretary suspects that there may have been fraud or serious non-compliance in relation to a debt waived under this section, the waiver does not prevent the Secretary from taking further appropriate action against the debtor or any other person. Note 4: See also section 1230D (non-recovery of certain amounts).
