Check your FTB balancing date if you were single and got an income support payment

Published: 14 July 2025

We may balance your Family Tax Benefit (FTB) without you doing anything.

We can do this if, for the full 2024-25 financial year, all of the following applied:

  • you were single
  • you got an income support payment with no gaps in payment
  • your earnings didn’t reduce your income support payment to zero at any time in the year.

If this applies to you, we’ll balance your FTB after you get your last payment for 2024-25.

Find out more about when we'll balance your FTB.
