Rent assistance can I get if I only claim Fam tax as lump sum?

If your primary place if residence is a rental then you may be eligible for rental assistance. If you do a stand alone claim for ftb each year you may not be eligible for rent assistance as you generally need to be active on the system for it to be payable. If you are active on the system but claiming nothing until tax time (automatic reconciliation) it may be payable in a lump sum.

Income limits vary depending on number of children, whether you are single or partnered etc....

Thanks BG, yes we are active on the system but just choose not to get it until tax time. Where can I find the income limits for rent assistance? Married with 2 kids.

There isn't a specific table online as paying rent alters ftba as well as rent assistance. Sorry - to print a table with all scenarios would be too complex...

Thats fine, thanks for your help!
