Roughly how long???

[Liviam]

Tan you have to fill out a claim form with Family Tax office (it's online) and then it can take 6 to 8 weeks. Hopefully it wont take as long because they wont have the massive amount of claims like they do at the EOFY

I thought they did it automatically? At least I didn't have to feel out any extra forms? It took a few weeks for ours, but that was last July.

ETA: HotI, if you lodge through a tax agent, you have until 15 May (sometimes later) the following year to lodge.

Yeah sorry it's for the 12 fin. Year.

I've never had to fill out a form before, it just came through but we did our tax on time and I can't remember how long it took, so maybe it's different and I need to do the form? Do you know what it's called Dan???

[HotI]

oops, yeah that makes sense. Hope you get it soon.

It depends on ato and how long it takes to get info to fao. Anywhere from 48 hours to six weeks is deemed normal



Eta. This is assuming you are current on the system and getting no fortnightly payments. You can tell that by checking your online services. It will say next payment is $0.00

[Beach Mama]

Thanks BG you rock hun, yep we come up as $0 on the payments thingy and the only things that do show up were the quarterly CC ones. Cheers - heres hoping its this side of 6 weeks!

If you've not been paid within four weeks of having both tax notices of assessment from the ato, call fao.

You can also check online through the family assistance income section of previous year actual income has been received.
