Good to know
- CCB is paid monthly, usually on the 20th, and earlier when the 20th falls on a weekend or holiday (and in December).
- Payments for July to June are based on your family net income from the year before, so you must file a tax return every year to keep getting it.
- Most provincial child benefits are paid together with the CCB.
