Good news, parents! Enhanced Canada Child Benefit payments will begin arriving in bank accounts this week. The recently increased Canada Child Benefit (CCB) disbursements are scheduled to be deposited into bank accounts this week.
CCB Benefit Payment Dates 2025 As planned, Canada Child Benefit payments will increase on Thursday, July 20, with eligible families receiving nearly $7,500 per child under the age of six.
The increase, which corresponds to a 6.3% increase since the 2022–2025 benefit year, is a planned adjustment to bring the benefit in line with inflation. The maximum benefits and income thresholds are both adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
As of July 20, the maximum annual benefit per child under the age of six will increase from $6,997 to $7,437 (an increase of $440). Payments for children aged 6 to 17 will also increase, from $5,903 to $6,275 (an increase of $373).
As CCB payments are recalculated every July, many parents and caregivers can anticipate an increase in their impending payment.
With the new quantities arriving in bank accounts within a few days, here is what you need to know.
How much can you get via the Canada Child Benefit? The Canada Revenue Agency administers the Canada Child Benefit, a monthly payment that is tax-free and intended to help families with child-rearing expenses.
Variables such as age, marital status, the number of eligible children, and adjusted family net income (AFNI) affect CCB payment amounts.
Beginning on July 20, families with an AFNI of less than $34,863 will be eligible for the maximum benefit per child. This equates to $7,437 per year ($619.75 per month) for children under the age of six, and $6,275 per year ($529.91 per month) for children between the ages of six and seventeen.
The benefit will progressively decrease for families whose net income exceeds $34,863, although this income threshold is now higher than before.
In accordance with the CPI, the income thresholds for the Canada Child Benefit for 2025–2025 have been adjusted, making it possible for more families to qualify for the maximum monthly benefit.
For the July 20 payment date, CCB payments will be recalculated, and many parents and caregivers can anticipate higher payments than in the past.
However, it is crucial to remember that changes to your family’s adjusted net income after 2022 may affect your CCB payments. For example, if your AFNI increased over the previous year and now exceeds the threshold, your payments will be adjusted proportionately.
