For those that have their Centrelink childcare payment thingy paid directly to the centre - do you get a separate payment back once you do your tax? I was told that by me nominating that Centrelink pay the centre directly (instead of me receiving the rebate/benefit whatever it is) that it would be overpaid to make sure I don't end up owing centrelink at the end of the financial year. This in turn would mean I get whatever is owed to me paid back.
I've done my tax & received a payment from Centrelink but that was for my Family Tax A & B - it doesn't mention anything about childcare rebate/benefit. So I'm just wondering if I will be expecting another payment soon or if it's included in Part A & B?
Google isn't helping me, nor is the government website.
Thanks, sorry I find this whole thing so confusing

You will receive a separate payment for your child care rebate if you are entitled to it. It usually is paid a couple of weeks after your family tax rebate. Hope this helps x
I got a seperate payment that was CCR that was owed to me. I did get mine prior to the FTB lump sum. So I would assume if you are owed anything it will come in another payment.
