Government warns of fake information about the Age Pension

Clickbait websites and social media accounts might say:

• there are new document requirements for Centrelink pensioners

• there are new eligibility and verification processes for Age Pensioners

• your Centrelink payments will be cancelled, suspended or halted if you don’t meet new requirements or guidelines

• you’ll get a fine or a debt if you don’t take action

These aren’t true.

Make sure you’re only getting information online from their official channels.
