Federal Benefit Program Payment Dates

  Integrated: means integrated with P/T programs. For example if a person lives in Ontario and is entitled to both the CCB and Ontario child benefit, then the CRA pays this person one integrated payment. 

NOTE 1: The calendars are ordered by program from highest to lowest volume of total payments and do not include any closed benefit programs that are still being issued as retroactive payments.

NOTE 2: ACWB has higher total payment volumes than CSA, however, CCB/CSA issuance dates are tied together and CCB has a higher total payment volume so they were kept together.

NOTE 3: ACFB November payment issuance date changed from 27-Nov to 20-Nov due to a potential upcoming Canada Post strike.

NOTE 4: This calendar includes the confirmed dates from now through to February 2025 and the estimated dates from March 2025 to February 2026. The confirmed March 2025 to February 2026 dates will be finalized in January 2025 as a result of the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders.
