Centerlink Extra Payout Starts Tomorrow
From tomorrow the government’s stimulus payout starts to flow to all of you who are hanging out to spend all that lovely cash! Tomorrow the following $950 payouts will start to be made:
- Family Benefit Part B $900 payout;
- Family Benefit Part A $950 payout for school-age children; and yes some families will get both these payments;
For the rest of you waiting for payouts to students, farmers experiencing drought and the education re-entry payment will have to wait until later in the month.
Those who are tax payers and expecting to get their 900 payout because they earned less than $80k last tax year will have to wait until April for their expected payout. Its a good idea to spend the time while you are a waiting for the government’s stimulus payment to make sure that the tax office has your up to date details - for quicker payment you should be getting paid direct into a bank account rather than waiting for a check - which will take longer to arrive. You also need to have filed your 07/08 return and you won’t get any payout if you didn’t actually pay any tax last tax year - i.e. you earned less than about $11,000.

do you get both payments if you are on a centrelink payment and also paid low tax 07/08????
Only if you earned more than about $11k last tax year and therefore actually paid tax and are also eligible for a family/youth/farmer allowance
Do the caregivers also recieve a payment this month?
