will find out for you tomorrow. i was under the impression that there was no payment at all for anyone who's baby was born after October 14th, so i'll have to email a friend and ask
Thanks BG much apreciated
ok, here's the criteria (from the Family Assitance Website
from what i read there, there is nothing for Chelsea, only for your DS. i would assume that what they are talking about when they say about a partial payment is actually your supplement at the end of the financial year (the "$600 per child" amount) - you will be paid for the number of days your child was in your care:
Can l get the additional payment?
You can get the payment if, on 14 October 2008:
You were receiving fortnightly payments of Family Tax Benefit Part A; or
You were entitled to Family Tax Benefit Part A, but you chose to defer your payment to the end of the year under a More Choice for Families option; or
You were receiving fortnightly payments of Youth Allowance, Abstudy or a Veterans' Children Education Scheme for a dependent child.
Please note: If Youth Allowance is paid directly to your child, the additional payment will also be paid directly to your child.
hope that clears it up!
That right there is nothing of the bonus paid for a child born after that date.
