1. What is waiting period for two years? Does this period applied on both Subclasses 175 &176 and does migrants are eligible to receive most social security payments?
2. Does social security payments includes i.e., rental assistance, education allowance, jobless allowance and children under 12 years allowance?
3. Does this mandatory for migrant to remain in the State or Territory for a period of at least two (2) years if he has SS subclass 176 visa?
4. What are complete surveys for Subclass SS 176 visa?

Moderators please shed some lights on the above questions with their experience. Thanks

Cheers

If we know the answer we may post on t but you would be better fof asking for answers from other posters on this type of visa rather than for answers from us.

Really appreciate such nice response showing your apprecitation for forum's visitors as well, your answer is not aggressive at all and it looks really that you can see that the poster wouldn't mean anything wrong.

Just a question.

Thanks

I am about to find out the extent of it when I return to live there this year.

For the record, I am an Aussie who immigrated to the Uk on an ancestry visa and then became a permanent resident. In the 4years that I had my ancestry visa I was told it was on the condition that I had no recourse on public funds. This did not bother me as I didn't rely on public funds when I lived in Australia so I had no reason to believe I needed any in the UK either. I worked my butt off and set up my own company with my husband and have made a go of it.

I believe if you immigrate to a country you should be going because you are going to contribute to that countries economy not be a drain on it.

do you not agree that the poster should get work and support themselves, instead of getting handouts.too many people just don't want to work which then costs the rest of us more.:thumbdown:

I'm sure you wouldn't be ranting and raving like this if you were injured, or lost your job, or some other unforeseen set of circumstances meant that you needed to rely on the state to help you through a bad patch.

Just because someone asks a question about benefits, doesn't mean that they are a freeloader.

You said what I wanted to say since the begining of this thread, beside if you are securiing food and housing for 6 months and you are searching for job all that time and you cannot find any opportunity for any reason. Should we be theives, or beg in streets, or return back to our country after loosing all our money we brought it to OZ.

Dear Zenshin,

You got it totally wrong....Every migrant who is going to some other country should know all this...this poster never said he does not want to work or something like this ..but he wants all the knowledge...

I am also AUS PR holder and even I am interested in all the benifits for what I am eliigible..this does not mean that I indent to drain the public funds. Its just that I should have knowledge .. You never know what's there is future..and what will come on the way..so knowledge is must...

May be you were lucky and you worked your butt off and opened a new company..I appreciate that..but All people are no so lucky...They may face some unexpected situations in a country where they have just arrived and they may need help from that country for which they left their home land..

So please don't take it wrong...Poster and even I am also interested in the benfits those we can get when we arrive in the new country..afterall we all gonna contribute to that country's economy and growth...

Surely if you are going to immigrate to a new country where you don't know if things will work out you should have some substantial savings behind you like at least a years wages and not use it as soon as you land. It would then also give you enough to go back should you feel it was not working out.

I doubt you would call what I have been through in the UK with founding my own company as lucky. Luck does not come into it but sheer determination that I would not fail. We have hit every obstacle imaginable but found ways around it without resorting to public funds. My motto is "If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail!"

Don't rely on social security to back you up but your own funds.
