Key Points to consider
1 There are multiple pathways available to check eligibility. Further details can be accessed from our link here.
2. For FN Cycle No 4, Service NSW had previously confirmed that no eligibility retesting will be required. However, the current status shows a requirement for eligibility for this fortnight as well. We are seeking further clarification from Service NSW and will update in due course.
3. For FN Cycle No 5 and 6, Service NSW had made payment to all previously eligible businesses, pending confirmation by businesses in due course. If your business is not found eligible, you may be required to refund this payment to Service NSW.
4. For FN Cycle No 7 to 10, Service NSW will only make payment once eligibility is confirmed.
5. For FN Cycle No 10, while we are testing the drop in turnover for the full fortnight, if eligible, a payment for only part of the FN will be made (up until 30 November 2021).
Further details on how to test eligibility and who can report can be accessed from our previously published guidance here.
