Depend on getting money not long ago (8)
I believe the answer is:
recently
'not long ago' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'depend on getting money' is the wordplay.
'depend on' becomes 'rely' (to rely on something is to depend on it).
'getting' is an insertion indicator.
'money' becomes 'cent' (eg denomination of dollars).
'rely' going around 'cent' is 'RECENTLY'.
(Other definitions for recently that I've seen before include "Adverb meaning not long ago" , "Happening not long ago" , "Lately" , "Not so long since" , "In the near past" .)
