The Canadian government is offering financial support through the Child Disability Benefit (CDB), aimed at helping families raise children with disabilities. This benefit ensures that families with disabled children have access to funds for daily care, treatments, and other expenses.
For the period of July 2025 to June 2026, eligible families may receive up to $284.25 per month per child, depending on their income. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has confirmed that this payment will be deposited on July 17th, 2025.
Overview
The $284.25 monthly payment is part of the CDB structure designed to support families with dependent children who have physical or mental disabilities.
These payments are determined by the adjusted family net income and the number of eligible children in the household. If the annual family income exceeds $81,222, the payment amount may be reduced.
