Frequently asked questions
When is the next CCB payment?
The remaining 2026 Canada Child Benefit dates are October 20, November 20 and December 11. CCB is usually paid on the 20th, or the last business day before it.
Why is the December CCB payment early?
The CRA pays December benefits before the holidays, so the December 2026 CCB arrives on December 11.
How much is the CCB from July 2026?
Up to $8,157 a year ($679.75 a month) for each child under 6 and up to $6,883 a year ($573.58 a month) for each child aged 6 to 17, reduced once family net income passes $38,237.
Why didn't I get my CCB payment?
Common reasons are not filing a tax return (both spouses must file), a change in custody or marital status that wasn't reported, or a change of address or bank account. Wait five working days after the payment date before contacting the CRA.
