Payments to the Canada Child Benefit are going out this week.
Central Nova MP Sean Fraser says it’s a direct cash support, helping families cover the costs of raising children.
The CCB was introduced in 2016 as an income-tested and non-taxable benefit. It replaced the previously taxable Universal Child Care benefit
The amount a family receives under the program is based on several factors, including the number of children, their age, marital status and a family’s adjusted net income from last year’s tax return
