Ok, I FINALLY registered for online services with Centrelink. We do not recieve any regular payments from them - we only get the Child Care Rebate quaterly - we have always elected to get any CCB at the end of the financial year due to my shift work and not being able to accurately estimate my income...

SO, I can't see anywhere on the page anything about payments due to me. Everything I cick on says I have insufficient access (I have Level 1).

AND, it also says on the website:

"From 1 July 2008 (for the 2008/09 year) and onwards the Child Care Tax Rebate will be paid quarterly to you if you receive Child Care Benefit as reduced fees. It will be based on your Child Care Benefit entitlement and your child care usage provided by your child care provider"

and

"If you claim Child Care Benefit as a lump sum after the end of the financial year, your Child Care Benefit and Child Care Tax Rebate entitlements will be paid once your Child Care Benefit claim has been lodged and approved."

Now, I'm very confused because I thought the CCR wasn't income tested and I received a payment last qtr. And I read the top paragraph as "if you don't qualify for CCB you don't get CCR". Am I wrong? Can someone clarify? I'm confused

TIA
