Federal Benefits Arriving This Month
Federal benefits in Canada help families, seniors, and veterans manage rising living costs. This September, Canadians will receive payments that provide real financial support. From child benefits to pensions, these programs make a difference for households across the country.
Canada Child Benefit
The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) will be deposited on September 19. This monthly, tax-free payment supports families raising children.
Families with income under $37,487 can receive the maximum amount.
For each child under six, payments are up to $666.41 per month.
For children aged six to seventeen, families can receive $562.33 per month.
Those caring for a child eligible for the disability tax credit may also receive the Child Disability Benefit, worth up to $284.25 monthly. Provinces and territories may add extra support for families as well.
Canada Disability Benefit
On September 18, eligible Canadians will receive the Canada Disability Benefit. This non-taxable payment helps offset living costs for those living with disabilities.
The maximum amount for 2025–26 is $200 per month.
Payments adjust with inflation to keep pace with rising expenses.
To qualify, recipients must have an approved disability tax credit and must file their income tax return by April 30 each year.
Veteran Disability Pension
The next Veteran Disability Pension arrives on September 26. This lifetime, monthly, tax-free payment is available to Canadian Armed Forces members and veterans.
Eligibility requires proof that a disability or medical condition is service-related. Veterans with dependents may qualify for higher payments.
Canada Pension Plan
The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) payment will be issued on September 25. This taxable monthly benefit provides steady income throughout retirement.
Canadians must be at least 60 years old and have made one valid CPP contribution.
Payment amounts depend on contributions, years worked, and retirement age.
Old Age Security
On September 25, Old Age Security (OAS) payments will be distributed. Canadians aged 65 and older receive this monthly benefit automatically in most cases.
Those who do not receive a Service Canada letter at age 64 must apply directly.
Why These Benefits Matter
These federal benefits are more than numbers. They provide stability, dignity, and relief for Canadians across all stages of life. From young families to retirees, each program ensures people have the support they need.
