December Impact on Part-Time Jobseeker's Declarations on MyWelfare

Due to the Public Holidays in December, payment dates are different. In order to ensure you receive payments on time this month, follow the guidelines below to submit your work patterns correctly. Make sure to click submit and wait for the thank you message before each deadline.

• Ask your employer for your expected work pattern for the month of December.
• On the 12/13th December, in addition to your normal week you will be asked to provide your expected work patterns for the following two weeks (19^th/ 20^th December and 26^th / 27^th December). The reason for this is that both weeks will be paid together in advance on Friday 22nd of Dec. Please provide all this information by the 15^th Dec by 4pm (1 normal week and 2 future weeks).

If you cannot provide the expected work pattern by 4pm on 15^th December, please submit your regular week (12^th/13^th) by 4pm Wednesday 13^th and we can still accept the expected patterns by 4pm 15^th December. You will need to log on again to provide this by the 15^th December.

If you are unable to provide your expected work pattern before this deadline, you can still submit as normal each week. However, that week’s payment will be delayed until after Christmas. You should submit your pattern and contact your local office in this case.

If there were any changes to the expected work pattern you submitted, you should provide the details in the “Change of Circumstances” question in January.
