Question: Will FTB Part B automatically stop when PPL commences? + Read more ...

Answer: The FTB system will read the PPL payment dates and apply the appropriate rules - FTB Part B cannot be paid on any days that the customer gets PPL.

If a pre-birth/adoption PPL claim is assessed pending proof of birth/entry into care, FTB Part B will cease from the expected date of birth/entry into care to reduce possible risk of overpayment. Once proof of birth is provided, any adjustments to FTB Part B are made within the PPL claim assessment and any Part B debt is raised as a qualification debt.

FTB quarantine coding will be separate to PPL. Therefore staff will need to code a return to work for both PPL and FTB Part B using separate workflows.
