    HI
    Have you/your partner just lodged your tax return (or in the last month or so)?

    do you have access to your centrelink details online? it will tell you there what it is

    ummm, most likely thing, if you haven't had it already, is tax time reconcilliation and top ups

    I got some money at this time a couple of years ago. It was something to do with an FTA or FTB top-up payment. Last year we didn't get it, as I underestimated our income, so they took what I owed out of this top-up payment. So if you oversestimated your income, you could be getting a refund. I haven't received anything this year though...
