how do i know if we're getting any money back from centrelink?

[Olive]

thanks BG, the place we did our tax said that because i havent lodged one in a few years that i didnt have to notify them ...ggggggrrrrrrr!

[briggsy's girl]

you may not need to notify ATO but you have to notify c'link each year cos ATO doesn't bother to let us know!

[Nelle]

Argh! I notified ATO and thought that was all I needed to do! Far out! Are the ATO supposed to notify C'link?

[MistyFying]

No Nelle I don't think they're supposed to notify C'link... it's a trap for young players

[Nelle]

Well, this young player was fooled, but who's laughing now system...overestimation for the win!

[MistyFying]

Hahaha enjoy it, won't you

I overestimated by several thousand and still fell about $700 short of what I was expecting, no idea why. I got one of the FTA per child, I got the FTB per family. I suppose I only got it for one child because I get child support for the other? That or they balance the kiddies separately these days and my ex hasn't done his tax yet ...
