When will the farmer receive the first Transitional Income Support payment?
Upon completion and certification of the CCAP Action Plan by a Rural Financial Counsellor, Centrelink will commence Transitional Income Support payments, back dated to date of lodgement, as long as the farmer meets their obligations within the required timeframes. If a farmer meets their obligations outside of the required timeframes, TIS payments will commence from the date the farmer has fulfilled their obligations. Centrelink will issue an additional voucher for the recipient to undertake advice and/or training as identified in their action plan.
