Programs that provide information and guidance for eligible individuals who need assistance in determining whether they qualify for the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), a tax-free monthly payment made to eligible families to help them with the cost of raising children younger than age 18. Applicants must file an income tax return every year to ascertain eligibility and the amount of assistance, even if they did not have income in that tax year. A Child Disability Benefit (CDB) monthly supplement is also available for eligible families to help with the care and education of children who have disabilities. The Children's Special Allowance is a supplement paid directly to institutions and agencies responsible for the protection, care and maintenance of children younger than age 18.
