BG will be able to tell you heaps more than I can because she is a families expert and I'm not trained in that area...but I'm pretty sure they can backdate for 2 financial years.

you won't be able to do much for 08/09 or 09/10 until ex does his tax - if you were partnered at the end of financial year (june 30) then you have to wait. however, if you were partnered and claiming ftb fortnightly at the time, they might be able to look at supplements being paid based on most recent estimates. you just can't do a claim for the previous years as lump sum claims

for 08/09 you need to claim by june 30 this year (and ex has to have done his tax)

your 10/11 supplements will automatically be paid in july as you will have been on pps for the bulk of the year

can i ask when this payment goes through? this is our first tax year with child care and etc and wonder when i should look out for payment or when i should be concerned we didnt get it.

does everyone get it?

[briggsy's girl]

Once you have both done your taxes. Can be anywhere from July through until two years after the end of the financial year, depending on when you submit your tax returns.

Not everyone gets it. There are income limits. And if you underestimate you won't get some or all of it as it will pay back what you e been paid in the past that you shouldn't have been

There is a thread about "600 per child". A lot of this is explained in there. Not feeling great today, but if I find some energy ill post a thread with links to dhs website and the relevant info there
