another stimulus Q..

[briggsy's girl]

I think the payments from Centrelink will come on your usual paydate between March 11-20... thats what I was told, but not by a C'link employee so it may be wrong.

like last time, nothing will show on the centrelink website until at least March 11 as nothing will be uploaded onto the system until then. it's a one off payment and needs to be stimulated after that date

as to whether you get ftbb payment AND the workers payment - i asked at work today and it's still unclear as to whether both will be paid. it is BELIEVED that it will be both payments (if you qualified and were on FTBB on feb 3), but nothing is guaranteed at all. if you are eligible for ftbb but were not current based on estimate on that date, you'll be paid that payment at the end of financial year

FTBB payments will be processed in the fortnight beginning march 11 and may not show on your record until two working days before you are due to receive your regular FTBB payment for the fortnight.

ATO payments will be processed throughout April

BG??

I thought that I was geting FTB part B but I am getting Part A ($48 a f/n) so does that mean I will only get the $900 from the tax dept as I earnt under $80,000 last f/year (07/08)??

As far as I could read that you only get the $900 from c/link if you get part B??

Ill be happy with anything extra at the moment!!

that's it KG

the "single income" payment ONLY applies to those who qualified for FTBB on feb 3 - the school child payment applies to those who qualified for FTBA at same time

the question that is almost impossible to answer is whether you get the worker's payment if you qualify for the ftbb payment - it's very up in the air

umm is it true you had to earn a certin amount as well in the tas year...

i heard had to earn over 11k correct?


and umm well i dont actually have a FTB payment due inbetween thouse dates so what happens there?

can't confirm, but i've heard you had to have a tax liability - so you had to pay tax. no idea what threshold that kicks in at cos of low income rebates and things...

and umm well i dont actually have a FTB payment due inbetween thouse dates so what happens there?

if they do the same thing as last payment, all people who get paid on the mon/tues before the 11th of March will receive their payment on the weds (11th of march)

[DoubleK]

Ness on the ATO website, it doesnt say anything about having to earn a certain amount, so im not sure.

Argh its all so confusing!!!!!!!!

I thought I read in the paper that the bonus payments were being paid like a tax return by chq unless you recieved your payment by online transfer so the address you have registed at the ATO is where the payment would be sent by chq???
I still cant figure out what I will recieve as last finacial yr I recieved FTB B and earned over 40,000.

the FTBB payment is not related to the 07/08 financial year at all

it is related to your status on feb 3 this year

i don't think it has been clarified if people will receive BOTH payments at all
