Question
Which of the following statements about the ‘Social Security’ section of the lecture material are TRUE:If you are a full-time student below the age of 24 and have moved out of home, you should be able to qualify for Youth Allowance if you are working a casual job and receiving some income support from your parents even though your parents have high income and assets.An individual must satisfy both the ‘asset’ and ‘income’ test to qualify for the Age Pension. There are limits on giving children an ‘early inheritance’ by gifting assets to them to satisfy the asset test.
Solution
The first statement is FALSE. The eligibility for Youth Allowance is not only determined by age, student status, and living situation, but also by a personal and parental means test. If the parents have a high income and assets, it may affect the eligibility for Youth Allowance.
The second statement is TRUE. To qualify for the Age Pension, an individual must satisfy both the 'asset' and 'income' test.
The third statement is also TRUE. There are limits on giving children an 'early inheritance' by gifting assets to them to satisfy the asset test. This is to prevent people from artificially reducing their assets to qualify for the Age Pension.
