    Medicare and FTB registration for newborn?/

    On the Claim form for Medicare and FTB that you get from the hospital there is a question regarding Tax free pensions and benefits for the next 6 months. I have to estimate what I expect to receive in the next 6 months from centrelink. Does this question include FTB A/B or not?
    I have no idea how much I'll even be eligible for once DD2 is registered so really don't know what estimate to put in.

    Can anyone help me? I'm currently getting $50p/f for DD1.

    your FTB entitlement doesn't go on that form anywhere - the numbers on that form determine how much FTB you get
    the tax free pensions and benefits is referring to pensions from the government (disability/carer etc) that you are not required to pay tax on.
