Reporting using phone self service 133-04160020
Expand allThis document outlines how customers can use phone self service to report employment income, changes in circumstances or participation details.
Report employment income
This service allows customers to:
- confirm or reject or match pre-filled Single Touch Payroll (STP) employer name and Australian Business Number (ABN)
- check, confirm or change pre-filled STP employment income and employment information
- report details of their (and their partner's) employment income paid to them in their reporting period. Note: this does not include self-employment income
-
answer questions about their mutual obligation requirements and advise a reason why they are unable to meet their mutual obligation requirements (some Centrelink managed job seekers).
For example, their specific question will depend on the approved activity coded on the Activity and Exemption Summary (AEX) screen: - PTW - 'Have you worked for at least 30 hours this period?'
- SEL - 'Have you worked in your business for at least 30 hours for this period?'
- report changes to their circumstances
- confirm they have stopped work with an STP employer and the reason
When they report they will get a receipt number and the outcome:
- next payment amount and date of deposit
- partner's next payment, if they get a payment from the Services Australia and they have given the customer permission to see this information
- working credit balance, income bank balance or work bonus balance
- next reporting date
Once a customer reports using self service, they will no longer be sent Reporting Statement (SU19) forms.
Eligibility

They must also be eligible to report using self service. Use the Self Service Access Facility (SSAF) screen to check and update a customer's eligibility.
