These notes relate to RA - December 1987 to present date:
|
Notes |
Explanation |
|
A |
Until June 1990 there was only one amount of RA, regardless of the amount of dependent children (1.1.D.70). |
|
B |
From 1993, when Family Payment was introduced, only AFP children attract RA. RA was paid fortnightly from that date, together with the AFP. |
|
C |
From 1 July 2000, RA became payable with the new FTB, to recipients with children. Maximum rates are rounded to 1 cent a day (not 20 cents a fortnight). |
