I got mine yesterday, Thurs 23rd. YAY! Just when I decided to become a health nut and get some running shoes...
Does it go alphabetically? Or do they just randomly select a few to get it (like the Price is Right gameshow) and we run screaming to the front???
"COME ON DOWN~~~~~~!!!!!!!"
there's no "order" to processing - they only do a certain number in each state on each day otherwise the banks go into meltdown and won't process all the payments!
I was lucky enough to get mine straight away. I think it went in on tuesday.
I have to agree with the online system - its very handy to use if you need to update income details and see when next payment is coming. Beats ringing up the overworked and understaffed call centre and waiting ages for a rep to talk to you.
Checked my online account today and we're getting paid on Tuesday! Also has a handy new little link off the childcare section of your login where you can access the 1st quarter payment info. It opens a little table which has how much you've paid in fees to your daycare centre, how much (if any) CCB deductions you've received and then how much you've received in CCQ (I think that's what the payment was called).
BG - Can I ask something?
We pay huge fees being in a daycare centre fulltime in the centre of Sydney so I figured we'd get paid the full $7,500 for the year split across four even payments. I was suprised to find we got paid exactly 50% of our fees paid so far in our 1st quarter which is far more than a quarter of the $7,500 per annum it's capped at per child.
Does that mean by the time we get into the third quarter (ie. April 2009) and we hit the 'cap' of $7,500, that we won't receive anything come the final quarter?
that's exactly how it will work Becka - it couldn't be worked so that it was divided into four portions seeing the fact that people might use more now and be disadvantaged in a later quarter, so it's just an annual amount that, if you reach it by Christmas, that's it until next financial year
Cool...thanks BG, I figured that might be the case and in retrospect I can see how the four even payments might just throw too much of a spanner in the works. Guess I'd better behave myself now! *L*
LOL Becka... I have to update my registration apparently & have no idea how to work out the website... alas I just updated our income as it will change in a few weeks. Sucks, our rent is going up $200 a week and because we will be earning $5000 more a year we will miss out on around $30 a week. Must just push us over some limit somewhere, we still don't hit 6 figures combined though, so I fell lucky to get anything!
Wow I just did the online registration thing - it is quite a process for first thing in the morning! Maybe I should have waited for my caffeine to kick in
Mine says it is due on Tuesday 28th so I assume they processing in batches and putting a certain amount of rebates through each day?
all payments are processed two working days before they go in your bank - soooooooooo Nai can see hers as it was processed by FAO yesterday. Mrsmac, if you're not seeing anything, it means it hasn't been processed yet and won't show on your account until it has been.
that would be your regular fortnight FTB payment showing up - if you're current but at nil rate (so ftb is on your file, but you don't get anything in the bank each fortnight kwim?)
the child care rebate will show up a maximum of two working days before you receive it...
