School Kids Bonus (Legacy): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn why this specific bonus is no longer a separate payment and how to check your family tax benefit statements instead.
The School Kids Bonus (Legacy) was a previous way the government provided financial support for school-aged children.
Who it's for
This specific scheme was intended for families who were receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A (FTB-A).
What you get
This is no longer a standalone payment. The funds from this bonus have been integrated into other existing payments. To see if you are receiving this support, you must check your regular Family Tax Benefit statements.
What it costs you
There is no cost to you. The payment process is automatic for those who qualify.
The catch to know
Many people continue to search for this as a separate payment, but it no longer exists as an individual bonus. It is now built directly into your base Family Tax Benefit Part A rate.
How to apply
- Check your most recent Family Tax Benefit statement.
- Verify that your Family Tax Benefit Part A rate includes the integrated support.
