Baby bonus and FTB payments - when they commence after birth.

[MLR1901]

I was at C link the other day to find out about applying etc, they advised they are back logged so approx 30 days behind in first payment.

It can be more than 30 days. For a while last year it was up to 60

Bb isn't back paid. You get your instalments from the date it's granted and they got for the 13 instalments. Ftb is back paid to date of birth.

We got ours really quickly. Applied for it online mid Jan and first payment from memory came through just shy of 2 weeks later. Much more quickly than we expected.
