I have found that you don't get $150 for 8 weeks if you get maternity leave. You get one or the other - which sucks. But you do get the working for families if under there thresholds. And if you ring them with your ird number and your partners they can look at what you earned up till the end of last month.
Hope this helps someone, they sure a pain to deal with.
yes but you got maternity leave...i want parental tax credit..the 150 for 8 weeks..so its done on the past year:(
thanks..yep you definitely cant get both but it looks like i cant get either because our combined income was nearly 68 over that time..but i will look..thanks:)
yeah if it was just his income it would be 755 after tax..but because its 1st april 2007 - 31st march 2008...we have to take my roughly 500 a week after tax into account which makes 1255:(so even though we arent getting any income besides his since sept we will get nothing:( boo..
I would ring IRD while you still have time and just check. It seems to be unless you ring them and ask, they don't ever tell you what your entitled to! We are having our third child so are already registered with them and the process is by far quicker if your registered already. Good luck :D
and i quote ' you will fill in the form after 31st of march and you will get paid 8 weeks of 150$ from april'....yeah umm not sure i believe that but will put that into the form when i send it in.. if that is the case the form is really badly worded and bizarre!!! thought its supposed to be to help when hes born.. he'll be like 6 weeks old by then:) lol.. oh well........
she didnt ask once how much my Dh earned.. she just said you will be entitled to 150 for 8 weeks after bubs is born as long as i dont apply before 31st march.. which still seems backwards to me but i get it.. cause you'd think if i miss the first 8 weeks then i miss it..
... not sure who told me..just i read somewhere i think that everyone who didnt get maternity leave got the 1200..and i only know a few who havent got maternity pay .. after talking to some friends yesterday and they got the 1200..mind you they earn a little less than DH.. oh its all too much for my preg brain:) !
LOL, it seems to depend on who you speak to when you ring. It's the luck of the draw - ring one day and get told a different story than the next time. I have found some really helpful people and some not so helpful at times! Just what you don't need and it takes up so much time.
Here's hoping they also put up the thresholds/amounts paid for the new financial year - like they did last year. We can only but hope!
:)
