New legislation now means that vulnerable Australians have the option of receiving their regular income support payments weekly, instead of fortnightly, to help them better manage their budgets. Centrelink staff are able to offer the weekly payment option to customers identified as having difficulties budgeting their payments across the fortnight under the Social Security and Family Legislation Amendment (Weekly Payments) Bill 2010.
