Claim within 90 days: new checks on older NDIS claims
From 15 October 2026, claims lodged more than 90 days after a support is delivered get extra checks. What self-managers and plan managers should know.
The NDIS is tightening how it handles older claims. If you self-manage, use a plan manager, or coordinate supports for others, these changes are worth knowing about now.
From 15 October 2026: extra checks
Claims submitted more than 90 days after a support was delivered will receive extra integrity checks. The NDIS says these claims:
may be held for up to 28 days while checks are completed
may need more information or evidence before they are paid
will come with a reason if they are rejected
Claims made within 90 days continue through the usual process.
From 1 December 2026: a 90-day claiming rule
Under the new NDIS laws, participants and plan managers will need to make claims within 90 days of a support being delivered. People with Disability Australia notes this will matter most for self-managed participants, plan managers and providers.
Simple habits that help
Ask providers to invoice promptly, ideally weekly or fortnightly.
Check invoices against your service agreement as they arrive.
Self-managers: set a regular time each week to lodge claims.
Keep receipts and invoices together, so evidence is easy to find if the NDIS asks.
Our approach
Beatified Care invoices regularly and in line with each service agreement, so participants and plan managers can claim well within the 90 days.
