Is it true?? $1000 per child??

[Sair]

No not everyone will get it if their incomes are over a certain amount as in this table

Table 2: Income limit at which Family Tax Benefit Part A including the supplement is no longer paid Number of Children
0-17 years Number of Children 18-24 years
No children One Two Three
No Children - $102,249 $113,978 $126,607
One $100,801 $112,530 $125,159 $137,788
Two $111,082 $123,711 $136,340 $148,969
Three $122,263 $134,892* $147,521* $160,150*

A bit hard to read like that, might make more sense online at the FA site

Going off my own payments, FTB B is payed to low income. You either recieve it, or you dont qualify.

But FTB A is payed on a sliding scale, on the LOWEST income earners salary. So you should get it Sushee.

But since you dont get it as a fortnightly payment, not sure WHEN you'll get it???

[MantaRay]

No Sush, not everyone gets FTB. I don't get any. Bummer, $2000 would be a lovely surprise!

No Sush, not everyone gets FTB. I don't get any. Bummer, $2000 would be a lovely surprise!

MantaRay, you get it if you get FTB A, not B.

ETA.... Sorry just realised you meant FTB at all, not FTB B!!!

BG, by pensioners do they mean seniors or anyone on a pension do you know?

Sushee, don't know what to say but heres a hug

[sushee]

That made sense to me, LMS - thank you for the info. It confirms that I'm ineligible for FTB this financial year.

Jodie, FTBA is paid based on combined income according to the FAO website, and for 2 kids under 18, it's $111, 082, so I actually am ineligible for FTB at all.

lol me so confused but dont think anyone can help me there, as I have no idea if we are A or B but think we are B ( I am a SAHM, BHL is $120,000pa but we have 3 winkies ) so dont think we will get it would be nice if we did would help with the move....

But on the upside we havent brought a house yet so we might have to save save save before the july cut off and get ourselves one ...

[little_Miss_Chez]

im a bit confused , im a sahm so i get the single parents pension as well as ftb a & b , so will that meanboth payments or is when pension is said does it only classify old age persons?

[Trillian]

I assume it would apply to age pensioners as if you are on a single parent pension then you would already get the money for the children you have.

I am not going to benefit fromt his as I dont fall into any of the areas but that is fantastic news! It was just on the channel 7 news as well. I am not a labour supporter but this is just what people need at this crucial time esp with Christmas around the corner. Well done Keven Rudd (if it goes ahead!!!)

I wasnt sure if my family would recieve it either but just heard on the news its $1000 per child and will start being paid in the cycle of 8 december.
