Thanks BG. I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't a problem. The FAO girl in the medicare office told me Oct 2nd but she seemed to need a lot of help with things so she probably wasn't the most reliable source in the world!

Can I ask anyone that knows........should I have done anything in order to 'activate' this rebate through the FAO?
Will I get it automatically (I do recieve a small eligibility for CCB at the moment)? In my FAO payment?

it won't specifically go in with your regular FAO payment - it will just go into your account sometime after the 20th of this month - could be any time after that, depending on where your child care provider falls in the processing schedule

Jess, are you sure that's what it was? How many days child care did you use for the 3 months from July to September? If you received $300 back, that is 50% of what you paid, that means child care only cost you $600 for 3 months?

MR- i got the letter in the mail this morning... It says Child care tax rebate.... $347.60 (thought it was less but i had a payment ome out of my account aswell)
DS was only in care 1-2 days(just dropped him down to 1 day while i'm on maternity leave.
It says the rebate is 30% of my out of pocket expenses.

The 30% child care tax rebate is for the 2007/2008 tax year. That one is being now for people who have done tax returns. The 1st quarter payment for the 2008/2009 year is being paid after Oct 20 and is 50% of your out of pocket costs. So you should be getting another payment in a week or two.
