Auatralian Old Age Pesnion - Paid in Advance or in Arrears?

[scorecard]

Simple questions:

- My understanding is that it's paid fortnightly. Correct, or... ?

- Is it paid in arrears or paid in advance?

Thanks.

Yes it is paid fortnightly.

Each fortnight after you apply.

Can be back dated to your 65th birthday if you apply after that date.
