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

DH received his tax back last week, im sure we overestimated, so when do we find out if we get any money back? or can i assume that because tax came back last week we wont be getting any?

Just call and ask. That's what I did and it hadn't been processed after 2 weeks, 2 weeks later it was.

We got our tax back a few weeks ago and when I rang to see what's going on, they told me everyone has to give it about a month before chasing up payments.
There was a thread around about this very subject but I don't know how to link!

Yes but you can call to see if you will be receiving a payment is what I mean.

[Olive]

cool! will call later!

Or you can check it out via their online services if you are registered for it.

[~Hestia~]

They wouldn't even tell me that, it's all new to me so maybe I wasn't asking the right questions!

I recieved my CCB reconciliation the day before tax went in, and then the ftb reconciliation was about a week after.

Olive, do YOU have to do an tax return? if not, you need to notify c'link/fao yourself that you have no need to lodge, and what your income (if any) was - it can take a couple of weeks from the date on your DH's notice of assessment for FAO to receive the details, but if there has been no notification that you yourself don't need to lodge, your file will sit there indefinitely "pending" your confirmed income. you can notify of non-lodgement over online services, but personally, i'd do it over the phone - that way they will process it straight away and let you know what information is still "pending" or they may be able to give you your outcome during the call
