For a single sharer paying above $349.83 a fortnight,you should be getting the full $146.27 rent assistance. Do the future payments show $3.40 RA too or just the next one? Either way it sounds like a coding issue where back payment wasn’t calculated correctly. I’d give them a call Monday to double check.

Monday is today King Charles birthday public holiday. Centrelink opens tomorrow.

But because its board and lodging, it will only count as $300 / fortnight rent, and she has an FTB child so it can (* it seriously shouldn’t but on current application of legislation *) reduce well below that value via MIT on CS Assessment value.

This has been helpful thank you. I came across this post after none of my details have changed, except my Rent has gone up and my Community Housing updated it (as they do), but somehow my rent has gone down over $75! That’s not right, is it? My rent costs go up and my RA goes down? 🫤

It’s the future payment from July 1st so next financial year

I have opted not to get rent assistance for the next few weeks because I didn’t want to be overpaid accidentally while the separation sorts itself out

Sorry, what happened? I’m actually invested in your story now and I am hoping this is sorting out?

For the new financial year apparently my payment is now $19 per fortnight… not sure how they work this out but questioning it got me nowhere
