You qualify for Rent Assistance if you:
* receive a pension payable under the Social Security Act 1991
* receive more than the base rate of Family Tax Benefit if you have dependent children
* receive an allowance or benefit if you don't have dependent children, and you
o are over 25, or
o are partnered, or
o are under 25 (under 21 if you receive Disability Support Pension) and living permanently or indefinitely apart from parents or guardians, and
* meet residence requirements.
Rent Assistance may be payable to Austudy customers from 1 January 2008.
You must also be paying more than a certain amount for:
* rent (other than for public housing)
* service and maintenance fees in a retirement village
* lodging (if you pay for board and lodging and cannot work out the amount you pay for lodging, two thirds of the amount you pay will be accepted as being for lodging)
* fees paid to use a site for a caravan or other accommodation which you occupy as your principal home
* fees paid to moor a vessel you occupy as your principal home.
If you pay rent directly to State or Territory housing authorities, you are not eligible for Rent Assistance. |
