section_content: On 12 March 2020, the Government announced it will provide an Economic Support
payment of $750 to approximately 6.8 million existing payment recipients and
concession card holders that are eligible as at 12 March 2020. On 22 March
2020, the eligibility criteria for this payment was extended to new payment
recipients who are eligible for their payment or card between 12 March 2020 to
13 April 2020 (inclusive). As long as someone had lodged a claim for an
eligible payment and was eligible for that payment by 13 April 2020, they
should have already received this economic support payment via Services
Australia or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Payments were made from 31
March 2020 and would have been received by the majority of recipients by 17
April 2020.
