CCB Information
What is the CCB?
The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is a monthly payment from the Government of Canada to eligible families with dependent children under age 18. It replaced several other benefits in 2015.
2024-25 Payment Amounts
- Children under 6: max $7,787/year
- Children 6-17: max $6,570/year
Eligibility
Must be a Canadian resident, responsible for the child's care, and the child must be under 18. Benefit is based on combined family net income.
Clawback
Benefit reduces on a sliding scale once family income exceeds $36,502. Higher clawback rates apply for larger families. Benefit phases out completely at higher income levels.
How to Apply
File your tax return with the CRA each year. If you have a new baby, contact Service Canada to register.
Zero Benefit Threshold: At a family net income of approximately $142,850, your CCB benefit would be reduced to zero due to clawback.
