FHA eligibility widened, assistance increased after review

Tuesday, 9 June 2020

If you have previously failed the Federal Government’s eligibility test for the Farm Household Allowance, you should take it again to see if you now qualify

Following a lengthy review process, a change to the limit on off-farm investments from $387,000 for couples means that as of 11 June there will be a single asset threshold of $5.5 million. 

The activity supplement, used for training, upskilling and professional advice, has also increased from $4000 to $10,000.
