Why you need to apply for child support while you get FTB Part A
Where possible, parents should take primary responsibility for the cost of looking after their children. This is why we ask you to apply for child support, also known as maintenance.
What happens if you change how you transfer child support while you get FTB Part A
If you change how you collect child support, it could impact your FTB Part A. It could also impact our ability to recover underpayments of child support.
How child support affects FTB Part A payment rates
The more child support you receive or are entitled to, the less FTB you may get. This is called the Maintenance Income Test.
What happens if we update your child support assessment while you get FTB Part A
If circumstances change for you or the other parent, we’ll update your child support assessment. This means your FTB payments may change too.
