I finally have something showing on my FAO online services home page.I'm apparently getting paid on the 31st. Is anyone else still waiting? I'm wondering if I was in fact one of the last to get paid. :P

i woudl assume CCQ is "child care quarterly" Lulu
i'm impressed with how many of you are checking this stuff online - we have a huge push at work to encourage self service use - it's nice to see it acctually CAN be used successfully!

I've used the self-service thingo for ages! It always let me know ahead of time if I'm getting paid anything. Also can do most of the stuff I need to on there, like change my income estimates. I love it!

it's frustrating how many people are petrified of using it sushee!!
i think i should have woken up that the people on BB are net-savvy though, so it wouldn't phase most of you to do your own thing on the net...

You're not the last Sush. Nothing showing for me still. I just have an awful feeling I won't get the money anytime soon. Which is annoying because I was expecting the $8000 odd from last year's CCTR and won't be getting it anytime soon due to a flag being changed for some reason no-one can quite explain and apparently can't be changed retrospectively once the tax year ends. So now I'm going to be owed around $10k, some of which would be really handy before our holiday in December but which we won't probably see until we get back. *sigh* Oh well, I guess someone has to be last.

MR, I was hoping you got some good news too and was getting the money through, but it sounds like something's been stuffed up on the other end. I hope you get the money before your holiday, and you're pleasantly surprised.

Thanks Sush. On the plus side, I have logged into the website so many times to check that I know my CRN by heart!!

MR - did they tell you what they have to fix in retrospect?? is it the fact that you qualified for CCTR? if that is the only drama, and somone hasn't fixed it already, they need to be slapped for not doing their job - it can be backdated to the start of the last financial year - it's only prior to that we can't do over the phone and needs to be actioned by the local centrelink office
I'm still waiting for my CCQ!

BG, it's the flag that says whether or not the tax returns need to be done before we get the CCTR. Last year we got the payment without tax returns and apparently this year we can't (even though there will no adjustment to FTB or CCB). I have been told by the FAO girl at the Medicare office (who didn't seem to know much), and also by an operator over the phone that it can't be changed now.
Registered User
ahh okies - so that makes sense for last year - it's been coded "end of year" which means it waits for tax return, rather than "minimum rate only" - which would automatically generate no matter what
that doesn't explain this quarter though - it should automatically flag across for CCQ unless you contacted after Sept 20 to ask them to do it annually...
Life Subscriber
No I definitely didn't do that! But maybe it got changed automatically like happened last year. I think I'd better call them again. It would be nice to get some of the money!
Registered User
it's definitely something worth checkcing - they're flat out though so be prepared for a wait
just tell them you want to make sure it's not been set to pay at the end of the year seeing last year was done without your knowledge and you'd like to ensure you get your payment asap...
good luck MR!

Thanks hun.

Don't worry MR - I'm still waiting on mine - perhaps the Queenslanders get it last
