Fixing the March 2017 Centrelink Rates

Modified on Thu, 13 Apr, 2017 at 9:23 AM

Chintaro Support were provided with the March Centrelink Rates from a Government body. Some of the rates that we received were incorrect, and if you have imported the March Centrelink Rates prior to 30/3/2017, your Chintaro System Administrator will need to amend these incomes manually.

NOTE: Do not attempt to download and re-import the Centrelink Rates file - this is very important. You will need to manually amend the incomes following the steps below.

For those of you who have not imported the rates prior to 30/03/2017, you will be able to import the rates as you usually would from this link.

Changing the Aged Care (Single) Income Amount for 20/03/2016

From the Home Screen, click System Maintenance, then Reference Tables, and look for the Income table:

In the Income Table, look for the Aged Pension - Single line:

Click the + sign at the left hand side of the line. The + sign becomes a - sign and the income is expanded to see the dates and rates:

In the line at the top with the Start Date of 20/03/2017 go to the amount field and enter $404.15:

Click the - sign to close the Income dates and rates:

Amending other incorrect Incomes

You will need to follow the same steps as above for the following 3 incomes:

INCOME TYPE:	RATES:
Widows/Wife Pension	Change 20/03/2017 rate to $404.15
Carer Payment Single	Change 20/03/2017 rate to $404.15
Carer Payment - Couple	Change 20/03/2017 rate to $304.65

After you have amended the other incomes in the table (above), close the Reference Tables screen.

If you have a row with "(CENTRELINK RATE) ICS"

ICS incomes are only for the Income Confirmation Service and do not have an income attached. Don't update these rows.
