Parents to Face Delays in Canada Child Benefit Program Cheques
BY Connect Newsroom, Dec 12, 2024 8:13 PM - REPORT AN ERROR
The CRA stated that Canada Post will deliver the checks on December 20. However, recipients with direct deposit will receive their payments on schedule tomorrow.
Parents expecting Canada Child Benefit (CCB) cheques will experience delays due to the ongoing Canada Post strike. According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), payments have been issued since Friday, but cheque deliveries will be delayed by up to a week.
The CRA stated that Canada Post will deliver the checks on December 20. However, recipients with direct deposit will receive their payments on schedule tomorrow. Canada Post confirmed that the union has agreed to prioritize the delivery of social program checks despite the strike.
In December, under the CCB program, parents can receive a maximum of $648 per child under six years old and $547 per child aged 6 to 17. Families with annual payments below $240 will instead receive a lump sum in July and will not receive payments in December.
