Starting July 2025, the Canada Child Benefit will increase, giving families up to $666 a month for children under six and $562 for those aged six to seventeen.
Canadian families will soon receive a financial boost as the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is set to increase in July 2025. This adjustment is part of the government’s annual review to keep up with inflation, ensuring families continue to get the support they need.
Starting from the 2025-2026 benefit year, the maximum monthly CCB payments will increase by about 2.7%. Families with children under six years old can receive up to $666 per month, while those with children aged six to seventeen will get up to $562 per month. This increase aims to help families manage rising living costs.
The Canada Child Benefit is a tax-free payment given to families raising children under 18. Managed by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), it helps cover essential expenses like food, clothing, and housing. The benefit is designed to provide more support to families with lower incomes, making it a crucial part of Canada’s social assistance programs.
To qualify for the CCB, families must meet specific conditions:
New immigrants and certain temporary residents may also qualify, depending on their residency status. Eligibility is determined based on annual tax returns, so families must file their taxes every year to receive payments.
The amount a family receives depends on their income and the child’s age. Families earning less than $37,487 annually will receive the full benefit. As income increases beyond this threshold, payments gradually decrease.
Here’s the updated payment structure for 2025-2026:
Higher-income families will see reduced payments based on a specific reduction rate calculated by the CRA.
Applying for the CCB is simple and can be done in three ways:
Families who missed applying earlier can request retroactive payments for up to ten years.
The CRA issues CCB payments on the 20th of each month, except when the date falls on a weekend or holiday. Here are the scheduled dates for 2025:
Families caring for a child with a disability may also qualify for the Child Disability Benefit (CDB). In 2025-2026, this additional payment will increase to $3,411 per year, helping cover medical expenses and specialized care.
A new rule starting January 2025 ensures that CCB and CDB payments will continue for six months after a child’s passing. This change provides additional financial support to grieving families.
