Payments
Change of circumstances
You need to tell us if your circumstances change when you receive Age Pension. For example, you need to tell us if you or your partner:
- start or stop working
- get a lump sum payment
- go into care
- move house.
You need to let us know within 14 days in case this affects your Age Pension payment.
- If you don't tell us about the changes you may be overpaid, and you will probably have to pay the money back.
- If you deliberately do not tell us about changes, you could be charged with fraud.
- A recovery fee may be imposed if incorrect information has been given to us about your employment income.
