Moving costs grant: Amount

(1)

The amount of a grant payable under clause 17 must not exceed $1,500 in a 52-week period unless MSD is satisfied that exceptional circumstances apply.

(2)

MSD must not make a grant for more than the applicant's actual and reasonable moving costs.

(3)

When determining the amount of a grant, MSD may consider including a portion of moving costs for shared furniture, appliances, and personal effects and belongings, but must not pay for the same costs in two or more applications.

(4)

If MSD is satisfied any other publicly funded assistance for the same or similar purpose as the grant is insufficient to meet the total moving costs of an applicant, MSD may grant a moving costs grant under this Part for an amount not exceeding the difference needed to meet the total remaining moving costs.
