When will parents receive their 2nd instalment EMA payment?
Schools need to enter and endorse all applications in the EMA system by 13 August 2010 in order to meet the first scheduled payment run for 2nd instalment, 2010. The first scheduled payment run date is Monday 16 August 2010. EFT payments: • Parents who choose the option to receive their EMA payment by EFT will be paid directly into their bank account approximately 3 – 4 days after the scheduled payment run date. This means that most parents will have received their EMA payment directly into their bank account from mid-August 2010, provided it passes the banking validation. Cheque payments: • For parents who choose the option to receive their EMA payment by cheque, the existing timelines for cheque distribution will continue to operate. Cheques will be posted to schools from late August 2010.
