Senate Community Affairs Committee ANSWERS TO ESTIMATES QUESTIONS ON NOTICE FAMILIES, HOUSING, COMMUNITY SERVICES AND INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS PORTFOLIO 2012-13 Budget Estimates Hearings Outcome Number: 1 Topic: Family Tax Benefit Hansard Page: 29/05/2012 - CA12-13 Senator Bernardi asked: Question No: 40 For both installment and lump sum eligible recipients of FTB A and B, please provide a breakdown of the age group of the children, broad age group of parents, and the family income brackets which are assessed?
Answer: FTB Customers for the 2009/10 entitlement year by combined Adjusted Taxable income range at March 31 2012, including instalment, lump sum and reconciled claims.

1.

Some families with high income can legitimately receive FTB.

They include:    customers with large families can be eligible for FTB Part A; customers who are entitled to an income support payment for part of the year can be eligible for FTB Part A and FTB Part B; customers whose personal circumstances change during the year (e.g.
customers with new partners who were eligible for FTB as a single person but are ineligible when partnered due to increased income) can be eligible for FTB Part A and FTB Part B.

Certain groups of customers are free of the FTB Part A or FTB Part B income tests:    Child Disability Allowance (CDA) recipients are eligible for FTB Part A due to CDA savings provisions originally introduced in 1993.
CDA was not asset or income tested and CDA qualifications also entitled families to a minimum amount of Family Allowance free of any means test prior to January 1993. blind Disability Support Pensioners receive their income support payment and FTB Part A free of income testing in accordance with existing legislation.

customers who are entitled to an income support payment are not subject to the FTB-A income test or the FTB-B primary earner income test.
Certain payments, such as superannuation lump sums, are included in adjusted taxable income but do not necessarily preclude customers from receiving income support.
