Good to know
The CCB is a tax-free monthly payment to eligible families with children under 18. Amounts are based on your adjusted family net income from the previous year’s tax return — filing on time keeps payments uninterrupted. Payments made on a weekend or holiday are typically deposited the last business day before.
