Hi Michaelm,
This will be my third year to hopefully qualify for FIS. After my first year was up they send you out a form for reapplying aprox a mth or so before your final payment. I had a 10 week wait last year from the date of my last payment until the date I started to receive it again however it gets back-dated from the date of your last payment so you dont lose out on anything. It can just be a hassle if you rely on it weekly and will be left a few weeks then waiting.
