next CCR?

[Mother Goose]

Anyone know when the next Child Care Rebate (the 50%) is due?

TIA

they don't start processing until three weeks after the end of the quarter (so won't start until 3 weeks after the last week that started in Sept - hope that makes sense) - then they are paid generally in the next month - some child care centres may take a bit longer to get their usage statements in

so looking at begining of nov???

with the new CCR set up it should be smoother shouldnt it. as the forms are lodged weekly now not quarterly, but then i guess it depends on the centre.

oh we sooo need this payment hope its a good one but i doubt it will be to much

[briggsy's girl]

there is still a timeframe for them to get everything in, all usage statements need to be reconciled on your file. the payments are not loaded onto the system for those first three weeks - it would be three weeks before they are enabled by FAO. before that, the payments don't exist on the system (i hope that makes sense!)

ETA - they are also paid over a period of time as there are only so many payments that can be sent through the system at a time, so they pay so many in each state each day - if they were all paid on that first day, they system that communicates with the banks would crash and no one would get ANY payments (income support/FTB included)
