get ftb arrears before doing tax return??

I just logged into my centrelink account and noticed im getting a payment for FTB a and b arrears but i havnt lodged my tax return yet. Very strange, every other year they wait until my return has been lodged and then work out how much to pay in arrears. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes the ft b additional payments for extra children have ceased.

I think it's cuz they only pay for one child, not an add on amount per child. That's how I read it...

My ftb a has been cut by 50 bucks a fortnight and I haven't changed our income ?

For the ones on the app, If you go to my profile in your app then click on finances and scroll down it will tell you if it has been processed or not.

Mine says process has not yet been started and will be processed by the end of July.

How do you see if you get this payment? Someone told me I won't receive it as my daughter was born in April?

Ladyloz. Arrears is being behind in payment. In this case money that is owed by Centrelink to you for underpayment throughout the year.

What are arrears? Lol sorry for the silly question..

They dont pay it out till you have recieved your last ftb payment for the finacial year. I get mine next week, cause i get my ftb payment next wednesday then thursday i get my supplements even tho my last ftb payment was the 1st im not sure how they figure that but its the same every year for me.

Not sure why they are doing it before people have done tax returns/ advise not lodging one. Centrelink is weird and confusing!!
