# QLD Kindy for All - Free Kindy Payment Adjustments

# QLD Kindy for All - Free Kindy Payment Adjustments

This article will assist you with understanding the adjustments to the QLD Free Kindy Payments on your Families Accounts.

### Overview

The automatic addition of the **QLD Free Kindy payments** to eligible children in Xap is based on the child being on the **Forecast** for the period.

The Xap QLD Free Kindy Estimator uses the information for the children who are on the a submitted **Forecast** to apply the **Free Kindy Payments** automatically to their account to update their account balance.

The amount of Free Kindy that is applied was initially based on:
* Days the child was booked into the Service
* The Session Price & Session Times of their booking
* The **current** CCS % and CCS hrs for the child

As this information changes throughout the year, the amount of estimated Free Kindy that was initially applied may be incorrect. The new **Xap Free Kindy Payment estimations** release will correct this information by:
* Viewing the **current** bookings for the child
* Viewing the **current** session price & times
* Viewing the **current** CCS % and CCS hrs

|| The QLD Free Kindy estimations are similar to **CCS**, where you estimate the possible GAP based on the current entitlements, however when the session reports are **processed** by CCS, the **actual** GAP is settled based on **current** information. The GAP changes from estimated to processed creates CCS adjustment credits/debits on the Family account balance.

### What to expect

The payment adjustments release commencing from the week of **24th June, 2024** will:

1. Adjust the Family balances and apply the **corrected** Free Kindy based on this new information
2. Check from the beginning of Q1, 2024 for all children linked to the Kindy program for changes to entitlements & bookings
3. Automatically apply the required **Credit** or **Debit** Free Kindy adjustments as required.

###### Scenario 5 - Changes to Session Subsidy information

At the time the Forecast was created Angus had the QLD Free kindy applied based on the 5% withholding, this has now changed to a different withholding amount.

**What you will now see:**

* CCS Amount received in Session Subsidy is $90.00. This is after 10% withholding.
* Therefore, CCS Amount before 10% withholding is $100.00
* Then 5% withholding applied CCS Amount is $95.00 which will be considered in Acquittal CGSD data and Kindy Payment settlement.
The below example is applying a **debit** amount to reduce the QLD Free Kindy applied. This may also be a **credit** if applicable to correct the funding.

The **Session Subsidy** information will also display the changes.
In this example the CCS entitlement changes were for a prior Financial year, so the reconciliation (CCS adjustments) are adjusted directly to the family.
