thanks girls, they did pay it directly into my bank account last year, so hopefully they will just do the same with the stimulus. I dont want to ring before the 16th because I dont want to get in trouble

in trouble for what? theres no harm in ringing, just means you will probably be waiting on hold for ages just to be told what weve said

[clare076]

the only reason I am concerned about the money is because I cant remember who the online people were, I know it wasn't etax, but I just cant remember the name of the company, and now I cant find them on a google search. I wonder if I ring the ATO if they can tell me who they will pay it too, and if its too late to change my address so it comes directly to me

clare im pretty sure its too late to update your address but no harm in ringing them
im pretty sure theres a seperate phone line set up for stimulus enquiries, check the ato website

Clare,

DH hadn't changed his address for the payment, so our payment was sent to our old address. The ATO cancelled the original cheque and have made up a new one to post out to us.
Obviously it isn't too late to change your address now, but it will probably mean that like us, you'll still have to wait a few more weeks... the ATO told my DH around 2 weeks to make up the new cheque and send it out.
HTH

well I am not going to worry until after the 16th anyway, I haven't even received a letter from the ATO to say that have sent it out.

Thanks for the advice though everyone, much appreciated
