Child Benefits
The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is a tax-free monthly payment made by the Canadian government to eligible families to help them with the cost of raising children under 18 years of age. The amount of money parents receive depends on their annual family income and the number of children they have. This benefit is intended to reduce financial pressure on families, helping to cover expenses like food, clothing, and activities for children. It is adjusted every year to account for changes in the cost of living. The CCB also includes additional support for families with children who have disabilities, provided through the Child Disability Benefit (CDB).
