For maximum payment, your income must be no more than $62 per fortnight, and your partner's income no more than $800 per fortnight.
Your income reduces your payment by 50 cents for each dollar between $62 and $250, and by 60 cents for each dollar above $250 per fortnight.
Your partner's income up to $800 per fortnight has no effect. Income over this limit reduces your payment by 60 cents for each extra dollar.
A part payment* may be payable if you meet all the following conditions:
your income is less than $800 per fortnight, and
your partner's income is less than $1,506.67 per fortnight, and
your combined income is less than $1,600.00 per fortnight.
* These figures may be higher if you are eligible for Pharmaceutical Allowance or Rent Assistance
Makes sense to me now too....
Just wondering BG, if you dont change the other payments to your partners name, like FTB etc, how do you say that hubby is primary carer and can get this payment?
Is it as simple as saying "He is the primary carer now" to C/L?? I couldnt find anything on it....
