Recompliance when subjected to Money Management
When a client fails an obligation and has Money Management imposed, they still need to recomply with their obligation. They can do this at any point during the four-week Money Management period, but they need to complete their recompliance activity before their Money Management period ends.
Client recomplies
When a client completes their recompliance activity during their Money Management period, they will be recomplied at the end of the 4 weeks. Any benefit payments they are entitled to from the day after Money Management ends will go into their bank account.
Money Management will last 4 weeks regardless of when a client completes their recompliance activity.
Client does not recomply
Clients who do not complete their recompliance activity while on Money Management will have their benefit reduced by 50% at the end of the 4-week period. This is because clients with dependent children have 50% payment protection.
For more information on how non-compliance affects assistance, see:
Their benefit can only return to the full rate payable when a client has completed their recompliance activity.
