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)
definitely. i can understand them not moving the baby bonus as it's only for six months, and there is no budgeting around it (plus getting part payments would be a PITA) but i can GUARANTEE you can move your FTB to another day - i did it myself - i didn't want to be paid on a monday! changed it to the Thurs opposite my work mat pay
you can't split the parts of ftb (a/b) but you can choose what day you're paid on
sorry i was so abrupt earlier - i just get frustrated with consultants that don't give the right info. i have a feeling there are a lot of temps at the moment so maybe that's the problem
just for the record... i called back and asked again. at first she said she didnt think she could do it, then she 'tried something' and it worked.
so i received my double payment on wednesday, next wednesday i receive one weeks worth of FTB then next wednesday will be the baby bonus, then the next week is FTB.
she said they can change the day of payment, but they would still come as one payment.
