SOCIAL SECURITY (ADMINISTRATION) ACT 1999 - SECT 22

             (1)  If a person's last bonus period is a full-year period, the lodgment period for a claim by the person for pension bonus is the period of 13 weeks immediately following that bonus period. However, this rule does not apply if:

                     (a)  the person is an exempt partnered person for the purposes of section 24 at the end of the person's last bonus period; or

                     (b)  the person's membership of the pension bonus scheme becomes non-accruing immediately after the end of the person's last bonus period; or

                     (c)  the person is a post-75 member of the pension bonus scheme and has a post-75 work period (see subsection 26(2)).

             (2)  For the purposes of this section, if a person has accrued only one full-year bonus period, that period is the person's last bonus period.
