99BA   Assessments of eligibility for orders and keeping of records

(1)  An application for a work and development order may include an assessment by the approved person or persons supporting the application as to whether the person for whom the order is sought meets any of the criteria specified in section 99B (1) (b).

(2)  If such an assessment is included in the application, the State Debt Recovery Office is to rely on that assessment when deciding whether to make the work and development order unless it has information that gives it reason to believe that it should not rely on the assessment.

(3)  If an approved person supports an application for a work and development order or includes in such an application an assessment of eligibility for the order, the approved person is to keep records of the supporting evidence for the application or the assessment of eligibility in accordance with the guidelines.

(4)  The State Debt Recovery Office may, at any time, require the approved person or persons who supported the application or made the assessment to provide all or specified types of that supporting evidence.

(5)  Despite section 99I, the State Debt Recovery Office may waive a requirement that an application for a work and development order or an assessment of eligibility for a work and development order be supported by a particular type of evidence if it considers the circumstances of the case warrant it.
