New fiscal 2015
According to the measures announced on October 30, 2014, the Government proposes to increase, as of July 2015, the universal provision for childcare (UCCB) by paying $ 160 per month per child under the age of 6 years old, which is an increase from the current payment of $ 100. It also proposes to establish a new benefit of $ 60 per month for children aged between 6 to 17 years old. The payments of the enhanced UCCB will be made starting in July 2015.
Parents eligible for the new benefit for children aged 6 to 17 years old will begin receiving $ 60 per month per eligible child starting in July 2015. To be eligible for this new benefit, parents must complete the admission form for Canada Child Benefits.
Those who have already completed this form will not be required to present the new form if their family situation has not changed. The form is available online at the Canada Revenue Agency website at the following address:
