hey hey..

just pointed this at BG coz im sure she will know the answer..

see all this $1000 ppl are getting for having a kid.. yeah well i was wondering seeming i dont get it coz Mia was born after the 14th.. isnt there something that students get? coz on the 14th i was on youth allowance and studying. I was down as studying till the 28th but ofcourse it didnt happen coz i had Mia on the 22nd. Does it work like that? should i look into it?

Hun, only the parents of dependent YAL kids got the $1000.

[briggsy's girl]

yup - thats it - you had to be a dependent child on your folks, not on independent rate

hrmmm.. my mums partners sisters son got $1000 put into his account on monday not his parents. Hes 16-17 and on austudy.

ah ok.. thanks.. just thought i would ask

[briggsy's girl]

he would still be considered dependent (so only gets paid what he gets based on his parents income)

And it would have gone to him if his parents had given the ok for the fortnightly payments to go into his account.
