I wouldn't be surprised if deposits don't start coming until October, just because that's when the new fiscal year starts. And I wouldn't mind a little more time to decide how to allocate the money...

The good news is that there's only a maximum of 4 weeks left of torture...unless of course they really truly extended the deadline until October. In that case, I just might pull my hair
