Can I claim the Child Care Allowance together for a quarter or bi-annually?
To ensure timely reimbursement of the Child Care Allowance, it is preferred that you submit receipts on a monthly basis instead of quarterly or bi-annually. If you have paid for child care in advance for the entire year, you can submit the annual receipt through Zoho Expense and note in the description that it is for the whole year. In this case, we will still process the reimbursement on a monthly basis.
How long does it take to process the Child Care Allowance application?
If you submit your expenses by the 12th of any month, reimbursement will be processed between the 16th and 17th of that month. Submissions after the 12th will be processed the following month. For example, a claim submitted on June 5th will be processed by June 16th-17th, while a claim submitted on June 16th will be processed in July.
