Balancing dates for single income support customers

You don't need to do anything if both of the following applied to you for the entire 2019-20 financial year:

• you were single
• you got an income support payment without a gap in payment.

You could have a gap in payment if your payment was cancelled or reduced to zero due to employment income. If this happened at any time during the year, you need to either:

• lodge a tax return
• let us know you don’t need to lodge a tax return and confirm your income.

If you got Child Care Subsidy (CCS), you also need to do this before we balance your CCS. Read about when we balance your CCS.

When we'll balance your FTB

The date you got your final FTB payment for the financial year determines when we do the following:

• balance your FTB
• pay your supplements.

FTB payment dates

FTB supplements

When we balance your FTB, we’ll also check if you can get any supplements for the 2019-20 financial year.

If you're eligible, you may get:

• FTB Part A supplement
• FTB Part B supplement
• Single Income Family Supplement.

The amount of supplement you’re paid can vary.

To be eligible for the FTB Part A supplement your income must be $80,000 or less.

If we pay you the FTB Part A supplement you’ll have an overpayment if both of the following happen:

• you then lodge a tax return
• your adjusted taxable income is over $80,000.

When we'll balance your Child Care Subsidy

We balance CCS separately to FTB. We’ll start balancing Child Care Subsidy once we get both of the following:

• all attendance information from your child care service
• confirmation of your family’s income.

We’ll then send you a letter explaining the outcome.
