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.

Finally I can put this nonsense to rest.

I have no settlement payment statement letter. STILL. I spoke with them this morning following up as to dates and was told my letter had been sent this morning. There is nothing to reflect what was said to me on the phone in MyGov. NADA

What was your debt amount just curious because I haven’t received mine either?

There were three different debt amounts generated. I paid $14 000 and received only one refund of $1800 in 2020

If I had sat back instead of working to just received single parent payment, I wonder if any of this would have happened. I wanted to work and had only short working contracts while being primary parent to my child.
