I'm getting mine Monday. I rang Centrelink about childcare benefit and the woman I spoke to told me, by the way you are getting your $1000 on Monday. Yay.
I get FTB tomorrow, so ours should be in the bank in the morning. Ours is going on bills, one in particular, a $700 electricity bill due to a faulty fridge grrrrr,
It's times like this especially that I wish out centrelink money was paid on the opposite fortnight to payday for my job. We're running on empty and only have about $20 to last us until Wednesday when we get out normal payment and probably the bonus as well.
My FTB payment is on the 17th, but over the phone I was told I will be getting the bonus on Monday. Either way, I am just happy to be getting it. I don't mind waiting
daniellabella - if you're constantly finding it a struggle getting all your money on th same week, you can change FTB pay day - essentially what they will do is change it across - one week you'll be short paid (only 7 days instead of 14) but after that, it will be regular 14 day payments...
