It sure can! Baby bonus was the last thing on my mind when DS was born, It took me 3 month to realise I wasn't receiving payments. I contacted them only to be told that my application had been rejected as we were just within the threshold and that they needed additional information. I then had to provide our full financials for the 6 months post DS's birth which needed to be verified by our accountant. I finally started receiving payments just before DS's 1st Birthday.

Just be aware that if your initial application is rejected, they will not contact you. They will wait for you to contact them. I would give them a call on Tuesday to see where your application is at.
