Family Tax Benefit Part B eligibility

We may pay you Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Part B if you’re a single parent, a grandparent carer, or if you’re a member of a couple with one main income.

Income

Most types of income count in your income test. We use this and your assets test to assess if you can get a payment, and to calculate your rate of payment.

Advance payment

You may get part of your income support payment or Family Tax Benefit (Part A) early. This is an advance payment. You pay it back later out of your payments from us.
