Tax Time FTB top up?

[Visitor8]

Someone said they weren't doing the $900 per child this year, but I haven't heard anything about it.
I can't find it on the site, does anyone know if we still get it this year??

If we do, what if your child isn't a year old, do we get a full payment still, part payment or miss out?

TIA

My little sister heard this too. According to both the Centrelink and FAO sites, its still happening.

For the 2008–09 financial year

Family Tax Benefit Part A supplement

up to $686.20 per child


Family Tax Benefit Part B supplement

up to $335.80 per family

And yeah, under 1yo is a partial payment.

so it's changed but still happening, cos last year it was $900 per child not $686

No it has always been around the $600, you might be confused about payments. This is a supplement paid after reconciliation and if you have been overpaid they take it from there.

its ok I worked out why I was thinking it was more. Because I get that $500 ATO payment for Jaidan... DOH! Pretty sure he gets it this year and that's it.

arent there 2 top up payments? the $600 per child and $300 per family, so maybe thats where your getting the $900 amount from.
