Ok, I understand the ftb part, So basically if the max rate for ftb is $100, next year when I start work I will still get that amount for the rest f the financial year.

I didn't think I would be over paid. Since I would be telling them when I start work, so my payments will be reduced and everything will be right in the world of centrelink.

My thinking is, if I tell them now that next year I'll earn 25grand in 6 months, that will mean my payments will be extremely reduced (starting from this July) which will put a huge strain on me financially now, where as if I tell them in Jan, I can cope with the payments for this six months, and starting from Jan the payments can be cut off/or reduced dramatically so I didn't get over paid?

Hmm this hurts my brain!


Love MN ;-)
