Section Sch3-13 — Social Security Act 2018: How weekly income calculated

13 How weekly income calculated (1) A person’s weekly income, for the rate of benefit, or as referred to in a specified provision, is (unless the context otherwise requires) the person’s weekly income calculated by dividing the person’s total income over the appropriate number of weeks by that number of weeks. (2) MSD may, in calculating a person’s weekly income under subclause (1), determine the period or periods to which any income relates, having regard to— (a) the extent to which it was earned in that period or those periods; or (b) the extent to which any other entitlement to it arose in, or in respect of, that period or those periods; or (c) the period or periods for which it was otherwise received, acquired, paid, provided, or supplied. (3) MSD’s determination under subclause (2) is not limited to, or by, the exact time or times of the relevant earning, entitlement, receipt, acquisition, payment, provision, or supply, referred to in subclause (2)(a) to (c).
