The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is a tax-free monthly payment to help parents manage the cost of raising children. Each July, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) recalculates how much eligible Canadian families will receive in CCB payments, based on your adjusted family net income from the previous year (for the 2026–2027 benefit year, that’s 2025). The CCB is also indexed to inflation, based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.
What are the CCB payment dates for 2026?
- January 20, 2026
- February 20, 2026
- March 20, 2026
- April 20, 2026
- May 20, 2026
- June 19, 2026
- July 20, 2026
- August 20, 2026
- September 18, 2026
- October 20, 2026
- November 20, 2026
- December 11, 2026
If you don’t receive a payment on the dates above, wait five business days before you contact the CRA for assistance, according to its website. But do follow up: “A parent who may have been entitled to the CCB but was not registered may still be in luck,” says Jason Heath, Certified Financial Planner at Objective Financial Partners Inc. in Toronto, and MoneySense columnist. “You can request retroactive payment of the benefit going back up to 10 years.”
What is the CCB?
The Canada Child Benefit is a non-taxable monthly payment the CRA sends to eligible families with kids under age 18. It’s intended to help low-income and middle-income families cover child-rearing expenses. The CCB was introduced in 2016, and it has been indexed to inflation since 2018.
CCB payments may include the Child Disability Benefit (CDB), and some provinces and territories offer additional assistance (for example, the Ontario Child Benefit, or OCB).
How much is the Canada Child Benefit?
For the period of July 2026 to June 2027, the maximum annual benefit per child under age 6 is $8,157 ($679.75 per month), and the maximum annual benefit for children aged 6 to 17 is $6,883 ($573.58 per month).
The total amount you’ll get for CCB payments depends on:
- The number of eligible children in your care
- Your children’s ages (kids under age 6 receive the CCB young child supplement)
- Your adjusted family net income
- Whether your children are eligible for the disability tax credit (DTC) (for the period of July 2026 to June 2027, families could receive up to $3,480 ($290 per month) for each child who is eligible for the DTC)
If your adjusted family net income in 2025 was below $38,237, you will get the maximum amount for each child. Above $38,237, CCB payments gradually decrease with higher adjusted family net incomes. See sample calculations on the CRA website, and use the CRA’s CCB calculator to figure out how much you can receive.
If you share custody of a child, you get 50% of what you would have received if you had full custody. The payment amount is based on your adjusted family net income.
Who can apply for the CCB?
To apply for CCB payments, you must live with and be primarily responsible for the care and upbringing of at least one child under 18. You must also be a resident of Canada for tax purposes. In addition, you or your spouse or common-law partner must be any of the following:
- Canadian citizen
- Permanent resident
- Protected person
- Temporary resident who has lived in Canada for the previous 18 months and has a valid permit in the 19th month other than one that states “does not confer status” or “does not confer temporary resident status”
- Individual who is registered, or entitled to be registered, under the Indian Act
There were changes to the CCB in 2025
There was one major change to the Canada Child Benefit in 2025. Previously, if a family were receiving the Canada Child Benefit and the child died, the CCB recipient (parent or guardian) would stop receiving the benefit the following month.
As of January 2025, CCB payments (as well as the Child Disability Benefit, or CDB) will continue for six months after the child’s death, if the recipient still qualifies. The additional payments are meant to provide financial support and help cover the costs of a funeral.
FAQs
The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) used to be known as the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB). The CCTB was an income-tested basic income program for eligible Canadian families, and was delivered as a tax-free monthly patent to help with the costs of raising children.
If your adjusted family net income (AFNI) is below $38,237 (as of 2025), you will receive the full benefit. The benefit gradually decreases the more you make from there, and is fully phased out when your AFNI is around $204,000.
As soon as a child is born or starts living with you. Ideally this would be done using the Automated Benefits Application when you register your child’s birth, but you can also apply online or by mail through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates
The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts The central bank’s policymaking panel voted this week to lower interest rates, which have sat between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to a new range of 4% and 4.25%. How Will Lower Interest Rates Impact Mortgage Rates? Mortgage rates tend to fall before and during a period of interest rate cuts: The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.35% from 6.5% last week, the lowest level since October 2024, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported. Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also dropped to 5.5% from 5.6% as they neared the year-ago rate of 5.27%. When the Federal Reserve lowered the funds rate to between 0% and 0.25% during the pandemic, 30-year mortgage rates hit record lows between 2.7% and 3% by the end of 2020, according to data published by Freddie Mac. Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Similarly, mortgage rates spiked around 7% as interest rates were hiked in 2022 and 2023, though mortgage rates appeared to react within weeks of the Fed opting to cut or raise rates. How Do Treasury Bonds Respond To Lower Interest Rates? Long-term Treasury yields are more directly influenced by interest rates, as lower rates tend to result in lower yields. When the Fed pushed rates to near zero during the pandemic, 10-year Treasury yields fell to an all-time low of 0.5%. As…

Key topics include SEC vs CFTC oversight split, DeFi regulation, and securities rules. Critics call the roundtable slow, citing Trump’s 2025 executive order as faster.

Hoskinson left a hint about his attendance on X while highlighting Journalist Eleanor Terrett’s latest post about the event. Crypto insiders will meet with government officials Terrett shared information gathered from some invitees to the event, noting that a group of leaders from several major cryptocurrency establishments would attend the event. According to Terrett, the group will meet with the Senate Banking Committee leadership in a roundtable to continue talks on market structure regulation. Meanwhile, Terrett noted that the meeting will be held on Thursday, September 18, following an industry review of the committee’s latest approach to distinguishing securities from commodities, DeFi treatment, and other key issues, which has lasted over one week.

It is part of the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to provide clarity in the US cryptocurrency ecosystem, which many crypto supporters consider a necessity for the digital asset industry. Despite the ongoing process, some crypto users are unsatisfied with how the US government is handling the issue, particularly the level of bureaucracy involved in creating a lasting cryptocurrency regulatory framework. One such user criticized the process, describing it as a “masterclass in bureaucratic foot-dragging.” According to the critic, America is losing ground to nations already leading in blockchain innovation. He cited…
