The adjusted rate of FTB is a rate less than the recipient's legislative rate, paid as a result of an instalment recipient's delivery choice.
The adjusted rate of CCB is the CCB % reduction chosen by a recipient that reduces or recovers any potential overpayment. The adjusted rate is less than the recipient's legislative rate.
Where a CCB recipient chooses not to take up the adjusted rate, he or she may elect to receive a rate between the legislative and adjusted rates - this is known as the elected rate of CCB.
