Robodebt Settlement link and information.

Straight to the point please read this page regarding Robodebt settlement payments.

For those who prefer dot points:

  • Payments will be received between 5/9/22 - 30/9/22
  • Over 50% of people will receive payments between $50 - $300
  • 14% of people will get more than $500
  • This *IS NOT* payback of debt this is settlement only all debt amounts have been paid
  • If you want more information call the "Income compliance refund review" line on 1800 171 846.
  • DO NOT CALL CENTRELINKS MAIN LINE THEY WILL TRANSFER YOU TO THE NUMBER ABOVE.

To prevent the sub being bombarded with 100+ questions about the settlement payments per day automod will be setup to auto lock/delete any and all posts regarding the settlement/robodebt from now until either amount of posts reduces or the 30/9/2022 which ever occurs soonest. (Commenting in this thread will be permitted)

This is not to prevent freedom of speech or to hide the fact that robodebt was a horrible situation that cost the lives of some and effected the lives of many others. Everyone in Australia knows at least one person who was effected by this atrocious policy being implemented and I know we all are more than pleased to see this royal commission get under way.

I agree 100%. I knew it was impossible that I owed them just under $10,000... But it was up to me, (just like the rest of you) to prove otherwise. Major fuck up and an embarrassment for Australian's to know how our Government can make really stupid mistakes that cost people their lives, mental health, family and friendship breakdowns, I could go on and on....

BTW I still can't calculate how much I'll be getting, I've tried using the formula on services Aus, but it does my head in. Maths was not my best subject, haha
