Unspent Funds

Unspent Funds 

This section refers to the portion of a client’s allocated budget that has not been used during a specific period. These are funds remaining after all eligible expenses have been deducted for the statement period. They represent the balance available for future use, subject to rules about carryover.

This section only appears for Home Care Package Transitional Levels 1–4 or Support at Home Classifications Levels 1–8 type of funding.

Carry Over Funding From Past Periods

This is the amount of unspent funds that has been brought forward from a previous reporting period into the current statement period. This amount forms part of the opening balance for the current period and reflects funds that were not used previously but are still available to the client.

Unspent Funds Accrued

Unspent funds accrued is the total amount of unspent funds that has accumulated over time. This includes both the carryover from previous periods and any additional unspent funds from the current period.
