Description

Customer makes an effective post birth claim and provides proof of child's birth/placement

For the customer to make an effective claim for PPL, the child’s birth must be verified.

PPL days can be backdated up to 100 days from the date of receipt, with the earliest PPL date being from the child’s birth/placement. A PPL date cannot be nominated before the child’s birth/placement.

Claimants have to nominate at least one PPL day to be payable.

An arrears payment can be paid for a claimant up to 100 days in the past and may result in arrears and the customer may incur a debt for Income Support Payment and/or Family Tax Benefit Part B. Debt offsetting may occur in these cases.

The lodgement of the Newborn Child Declaration (FA081) is used as proof of birth for the newborn child and is not a claim for PPL. If the customer is not already FTB current, the online claim for PPL or Claim for Paid Parental Leave and Family Tax Benefit (FA100) is still required within the requested timeframe for the claim to be effective.
