| I had post of the day once, until GQ took it away | |
|
I'm trying to avoid posting a 'gimme my money' type thread, but news.com.au are reporting it's $410 for primary kids, paid from January 9. I thought it was $410 for the whole year, and that the amount paid in January would therefore be half of that??
Anyone know? Also, i remember seeing the lower age limit here before but can't find it now, anyone know what that is? |

Pretty sure you are right - half was paid to those getting FTB A last year and this is the other half. To get this one the child must be starting school, must have had the 4yo check and you need to tell them. That's my understanding but I'm no expert - I just looked far enough to find out that we miss out.

News.com is reporting it wrong
You get the $410 in total over the year in 2 instalments The January payment for primary aged children is $205 per child |

It seems the lower age limit is year one "Children in preschool are not eligible."

That's my understanding but I'm no expert - I just looked far enough to find out that we miss out. The 4yo check has nothing to do with the schoolkids bonus, It's only required to be reported by those receiving an income support payment (parenting payment, newstart, DSP etc), if it's not done or reported, the FTB A supplement at the end of that financial year is withheld until the check has been done. |

A full payment was made last June. The January payment is the first half of this year's payment with the other half arriving in July (it doesn't seem to follow the financial year).

This info is on my online account withCentrelink:
State/Territory Recognised Primary Level Not recognised as Primary level New South Wales Kindergarten Years 1-6 Preschool Victoria Preparatory Years 1-6 Kindergarten Queensland Preparatory Years 1-7 Kindergarten/Preschool South Australia Reception Years 1-7 Kindergarten Western Australia Pre-primary Years 1-7 Kindergarten Tasmania Preparatory Years 1-6 Kindergarten Northern Territory Transition Years 1-6 Preschool Australian Capital Territory Kindergarten Years 1-6 Preschool eta: sorry it is so messy. So for example in WA you get the SKB if your child is in pre-primary - 7, but not in kindy. (This is just the primary school table) This post has been edited by gina70: 30/12/2012, 12:32 PM |
