In addition to the common notifiable events, CSHC holders must notify Centrelink within the 14-day notification period, if any of the following events occur, or are likely to occur:
Example: Change in relationship status or change in the number of dependants (1.1.D.65).
A cardholder must notify if such an event has occurred, or is likely to occur. If the event would result in cancellation of the person's CSHC, the CSHC should not be cancelled until the event has actually occurred.
Example: A cardholder advises that they expect their income to increase over the allowable limit. The CSHC should not be cancelled until after the allowable limit is exceeded.
Act reference: SSAct section 23(1)-'social security pension', section 23(1)-'social security benefit'
Where a person has made an estimate of taxable income for a reference tax year (1.1.R.105) and the estimate was accepted - the person must provide Centrelink with a copy of a TNA of the person's taxable income for that tax year within 12 months of the end of that tax year.
Example: If an estimate is provided for reference tax year 2001-02 a copy of a TNA for that reference tax year must be provided to Centrelink by June 2003.
