Child Care Benefit/Child Care Rebate Info

[briggsy's girl]

you can do a full new claim (so go online, apply for payment, make a claim, claim ccb for current financial year) - you can't just add a child to an existing payment though unless you phone up (and there are huge waits at this time of year).

it may take a couple of weeks to process, but will be backdated and granted from the date you submit the claim

Thanks for that BG; wasn't sure if I needed to put a whole new claim in as it wasn't clear on the website.

Yeah I rung this morning to talk to someone about the rebate and the estimated wait time was 90 mins!!! I just ended up going into the office!

I'm a single mother. Not working. Can I claim CCB?

It's all confusing me and I've been putting it off sorting it all out.
I feel so such an idiot for asking.

Thanks heaps.
