glad i can help hunny

ETA - Arimeh - my understanding is that it's a stand alone payment that will be administered by FAO but not part of FTB. i've not been to work since it was announced (am on leave this week) so i'm really not sure. i assume if you're current but at zero rate, it will be automatically generated. it would be the individuals who do a lump sum claim at the end of the year (so aren't current at zero rate) that would have issues - and i'm not sure how the $1000 would apply for them
