yes u can ask for it to be offset which means one payment one week and one the next, i get my PPS one week and my FTB the next. call up c'link they shud be able to do it over the fone HTH
yup - you just have to request to change your payment day - and need to be aware that, the first time you get FTB on the opposite week it will be an odd amount - as it won't be for the full fortnight - only for a week
so, if you got paid today and want to get ftb next Thursday, you'll only be paid 7 days. if you were paid last week and want to change it, they'll give you a small payment immediately (tuesday if you called tomorrow) to bring you up to date (again, 7 days) and then you'd go to one payment one week, one the other. you can ONLY change your FTB payments - baby bonus is apparently not able to be moved (which sucks for me cos i get baby bonus on monday before my mat pay from work on thurs - then the following week get bugger all FTB - sigh!)
THe first time I received the baby bonus and FTB they were on the same day but then by the next one they were moved to one each week and I didnt request it but works out much better.
ohh now that you've said that Alibaby... i just remembered i got a thing in the mail yesterday about my payments... i had a quick look, but didnt bother to read the dates... maybe i should double check before i call!
bull shiat!!! you can change the day you get your FTB - you can't change the day you get baby bonus. baby bonus is 13 equal payments paid fortnightly on the same day as your initial payment - and it can't be changed. you have every right to change what day you receive your FTB (but both FTBa and FTBb will be paid together)

she said they can change the day of payment, but they would still come as one payment.
