    Thanks BG!!!

    Yeah I definately wont change anything then as far as the payments for FTB.. I wasnt sure the cut off, but he will be on seriously crap wages, not quite $12 an hour, but around the $15 something. Once his three month probationary period is over (he is casual now on about $18) he automatically has to go on a traineeship to stay in the job. (hence why i think they go through so many workers there!! They all quit after three months!!) But def this year he has already earned above that due to the job he had before! Thanks for the tip on that!!

    I have to call tomorrow to let clink know I have started work so I will mention the request to notify a return for work. At the moment though I have no idea until I start exactly what I am getting an hour, but i wont need to report my income until next fortnight.

    I will start off doing night shifts, but you were saying I will get max CCB aswell as max FTB until the 6 weeks of zero reporting- at the moment my CCB% is a ridiculous 102%, but that is without it knowing I have returned to work... Its all so confusing!! I almost wish I hadnt applied for the PPP, but i knew if i hadnt we would have been screwed if i didnt get work right away!!!! lol I might try and pop into the office rather than call- the lady I have been talking to is really nice and I am sure she can explain it all to me so I get it right :-)

    Thanks heaps BG!!! (and everyone else )

    the office staff are good - BUT they are often run off their feet

    the ppp app works in your file babe - it gets you that higher rate of ftba and ccb (plus hcc) while you transition to work
