We have no idea what they are doing. Either they forgot to cancel the scheduled email or they have decided to pay you anyway. Let us know if you received funds into your bank account!
Businesses receiving JobSaver support will need to reconfirm eligibility fortnightly and payment should be received within a week of confirmation.
You do not need to submit details, however you need to keep records on file in case of audit. Make sure you have reconciled all of your deposits before you complete testing.
