There is extra administration for someone to go on the cashless debit card. They have to get the Indue card. To be clear, 80 per cent of someone's jobseeker allowance is now going to be quarantined if they lose their job in a CDC trial area. I'm asking how long it will be before someone actually gets access to the payment because they have to get processed through the CDC process and the Indue process.
