My understanding is that if you are on FTB which is based on earning for financial year and you return to work for first time after having child you don't have to "pay back" FTB based on your earnings for that financial year.
So take me I got FTB A & B based on our combined income until I returned to work in FEB, at that point I fill in the return to work form and update income estimate -so what return to work means is that the FTB money already received that financial year is ring fenced and I don't have to pay it back due to now having an income which effects FTB eligibility.
Is great that they do it because otherwise can make returning to work within a financial year very costly (is just a shame they don't do with CCB)
