Service NSW is telling us you absolutely, totally, really will need to confirm eligibility to receive your next payment for the fortnight ending 24th October – which will be paid at 30% of wages (down from 40%) minimum payment will be $1,125.
To receive your next payment, you’ll need to login and confirm details on or after 25th October, there is no deadline to lodge so you can take your time to get the details right.
You may also need to confirm 13th – 26th September and 27th September – 10th October. 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.
Choosing a comparison period
If your business was closed, you can indicate that you have continued to experience a decline in turnover of at least 30% by selecting ‘yes’ on the confirmation screen.
If your business has continued to trade and experienced a decline in turnover of at least 30% for the fortnight for which you are confirming your eligibility, you can demonstrate the decline in turnover using one of the following options.
Note: You need to use the same option each time you reconfirm your eligibility.
If 12 June – 25 June 2021 was your initial comparison period
In this case, you must use the same period as your initial application.
For example, if you initially compared the period of 26 July – 8 August 2021 to 12 June – 25 June 2021, then your comparison period remains 12 June – 25 June 2021. This comparison period will remain fixed for all future periods. No other option is available for you.
If your initial comparison period was in 2019 or 2020 you have two choices:
- You can use the same year, but the corresponding fortnight as the current fortnight for which you are reconfirming your eligibility.
For example, if you initially compared the period of 26 July – 8 August 2021 to 26 July – 8 August 2019, then your comparison period is 11 October – 24 October 2019. You cannot use 11 October – 24 October 2020 as your comparison period in this example. - Alternatively, you can use the same comparison period that you used in your application.
For example, if you initially compared the period of 26 July – 8 August 2021 to 26 July – 8 August 2019, then your comparison period remains 26 July – 8 August 2019. This comparison period will remain fixed for all future periods.
Once you have confirmed all of your deposits have been reconciled, you can run the test reports. Make sure you keep records in the event of an audit.
