Well I have heard about this, but havent really thought too much about it until reading this. So this will be interesting on whether my last one that was born on the 14th will be included since the announcement was made on the 14th.

Also a Huge congratulations FJ on your new arrival. Lots of hugs hun.

hmmmm, true, lol maybe it will come down tot he time of her birth & the time of the announcement LOL

Well FJ, thats what I was thinking. hehehe.

my understanding is that it was for children born up until Midnight that night - but i can't guarantee it as i haven't been to work since this announcement was made

Just wondering - does anyone know whether we should expect to get the bonus $ with our FTB for that fortnight, or is it just random when they pay it? I know that we've been told to expect it between the 8th and the 20th December, and I get paid my FTB payments on the 19th, so even though this bonus is totally independant of FTB, should I expect it to arrive on the 19th? (My hubby's b'day is the 17th, so that's what got me thinking)

It will arrive with your first regular FTB payment after the 8th - mine is on the 9th, so I would get mine then - so no, you probably wouldn't get yours till the 19th.

Awesome - thanks Trillian.
