Yep thats what happened to us beginning of this year, changed roles and I think a section of the amazon was deforested to deal with all of the paperwork we had to fill out!!!! As BG said, don't change the FTB or anything like that, because it's applied to the family so it doesn't matter about whose name it is in.

Then way it works out, any income you earn over $800 a FORTNIGHT reduces the parenting payment by $0.60 for each dollar your income is over $800. Up until about $1500 and then you aren't eligible for PPP. But you can still remain eligible for other payments because they all have different criteria. And he has to report each fortnight, rather than giving an estimate for the whole year.

Not sure what you mean Jodie, only one person in a couple can get Parenting Payment for a child. But if you or your partner are on another payment (and obviously eligible for a payment) and not earning, then your partner would get full PPP I think.


Good luck
