Just a question re the PPL... (gosh planninga budget is so annoying!)
My EDD is 25 Sep, last day of work being 17 Aug. I'm still eligible right?
I'll be lodging all the paperwork etc soon (you can do so 3 months before EDD correct?) so when do the payments start? Do they wait until you've advisted DOB of baby or what?
yes you can lodge up to three months before baby is due. they will process the claim and have it pending proof of birth. payments will not start until proof of birth is provided
if you finish up 17th aug you're only taking about 5-6 weeks before EDD - that's fine (provided you've met the 10 months criteria prior to that)
Another question, My employer paid almost $8000 of PPL into my account. We normally get paid fortnightly at work. I called the pay office and they said as soon as centreline pays them the money they don't hold onto it they just put it in our account and that centreline paid mine to them up till 26th July, so I won't get anymore till after then when. I'm annoyed cause I didn't want a lump sum but understand this was my employer not centrelines fault.
However, if centrelink pay the rest owed to me sometime after 26th July in another lump sum to my employer and then they pay it too me could I go back to work early from mat leave or no because according to centrelines records I am getting payments are to me till 3rd sept?
you can't finish up more than 8 weeks before bub is due - you can't have more than 8 weeks off at any time - and you can only finish that early if in the previous 11 months (cos you are essentially taking 2 months off) you have worked at least 10 months....
