VEA →

Eligibility for widow/widower or former partner

Section 49Q(2) VEA

VEA → (go back)

Where an eligible widow/widower or former partner of a qualifying sugarcane farmer has an interest in the farm, that person may also benefit from RASF, even though they themselves may not meet the definition of a qualifying sugarcane farmer. Such a person is still required to meet further eligibility requirements for RASF. In most cases, a widow or widower would meet the definition of a qualifying sugarcane farmer because ownership of the farm was transferred to them upon the death of their partner.
