    Question Baby Bonus

    Good morning. Just was wondering if anyone has recieved there baby bonus recently? If so how long did it take to go into your bank account? I was told by centrelink it can take up to 14 days to 21 days. I am pretty sure that last time i got this it went in earlier.
    Thanks....

    Yup i was told 14 days, but to follow up if its been longer than 21 days. It could go in earlier, 14 days is just the time limit.

    With DD2 it was 2 weeks to the day after handing in the paper work.
    With DS it was about 10 days. Not 100% sure when MIL put in the forms though. Had to take the forms back to the hossy coz they didn't stamp it & coz we are 2 hours away I left it with her to do it.
    It could've been less.

    the standard is 21 days - depending on where you live and how busy the processing centre is, it might be sooner
