Sorry to bump this again - does anyone know what will happen with the school kids bonus if you're not due a FTA payment between 20-27th June?

Also, when will the payments appear on the centrelink online portal? Will it be the day the payment is processed like the energy bonus?

[briggsy's girl]

it's not going to be paid with your normal ftb payments - it's only a 10 day window - there will be a separate pay run - it may or may not coincide with your ftb payment. it will be a case of a certain percentage of all eligible payments made each day to spread them over that window of time


It will show on the payments on your online services 2 working days before the money goes into your account (so if it's going to go in on wednesday it will show up on monday)

[Ms_Fi]

Thanks BG - will keep an eye out on the online screen

With any luck it'll be alphabetical by surname - I'm a 'B' so I'll be near the front of the queue!!

[briggsy's girl]

no it's not done alphabetically, i promise!

[Ms_Fi]

*sulks* you dashed my hopes then!!

The kids are hanging out for the money as I've promised them $100 each from it - if I have to wait then so will they!!

[briggsy's girl]

they'll have to learn patience - it's a trait they'll need lots in life!

Am I right in thinking that because we claim FTB A and B at tax time in a lump sum, that we don't get the household assistance package until we put it through our tax next month?

Been watching our bank account remain empty and it's dawned on me that this might be the case.....?

I have been wondering the same thing!

Hopefully BG will be able to sort this out for us but I was under the impression that we wont get it until next financial year is reconcilied, as in 2012/13. Praying I'm wrong though.

I should point out I read that online and I find FAO confusing at the best of times.

Does the same go for ETR as well?

We got ours already, but basically spent on car mechanical repairs. At least it was $1000 we didn't have to try and find to fix the car.

Sounds right!

If yiu are current and it automatically reconciles you may still get your payments. But if you do a new claim each year it won't

[Miss.September]

Thanks BG. We do a new claim each year.
