Ok, so i gather your talking about family payments.....not sure i always thought it was the last working day before the public holiday you got your payments!
given you've mentioned "study" payment, i am assuming it is Austudy - which would be a payment that requires you to declare any earnings - is this right? if you're due to get a payment and haven't reported your income,the payment will not be stimulated. perhaps check on Monday whether you're due to report, and what day you need to so this
westy, with Christmas and Easter, payments get spread out more - it's not just put on the one pay day before the public holiday - essentially that would mean putting 3 days of payments on one day - which is too much on the system, and waaaaaaaaaay too much on the banks to process! could you imagine having to report income over the phone at the same time as everyone else - when it would normally have those calls spread over three days...?
Sorry BG, DH is getting Newstart Allowance but is currently studying so doesn't need to declare earnings and only needs to lodge his form every 6wks and isn't due to lodge until 7th Jan, so his payment due on the 25th would normally just get put into his account.
