If you are counting on the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) this month, here is the latest: the September 2025 CCB will be issued on Friday, September 19, 2025.
That’s the confirmed federal schedule for 2025.
Payment Date For September 2025
The official September 2025 CCB date is September 19, 2025.
The Government of Canada’s benefits calendar lists all monthly CCB dates for the year, and September falls on the 19th.
How Much You Can Receive In 2025–26
For the July 2025 to June 2026 benefit year (based on your 2024 Adjusted Family Net Income), the indexed maximum annual amounts are:
- $7,997 per child under age 6 ($666.41/month)
- $6,748 per child age 6–17 ($562.33/month)
CCB is income-tested, so these amounts gradually reduce as income rises.
If your child is eligible for the Child Disability Benefit, you could receive up to $3,411 per year ($284.25/month) in addition to CCB.
Why Some Families May See Delays
Most families on direct deposit see funds on the payment date, but a few situations can cause delays:
- Cheque delivery issues (for those not on direct deposit), including regional disruptions (e.g., wildfire-related service alerts). Direct deposits still go out on schedule.
- Recently changed bank details: when you update direct deposit, CRA processes the change by the next business day, and some banks may take extra time to post funds.
- New applicants / changes (new child, custody change, reassessment): your first payment after approval can take up to 8 weeks (online) or 11 weeks (mail).
What To Do If Your Payment Is Late
CRA asks you to wait 5 working days after the expected date before contacting them. You can also check CRA My Account to confirm your amount and status.
Note: If your total yearly CCB is under $240, you don’t get monthly payments; a single lump-sum is paid with the July CCB.
