CCB Notice
A tax-free monthly payment known as the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is given to qualified families to assist with the expenses of parenting children under the age of eighteen. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) oversees its management. To confirm your eligibility and the amount you will receive each year, the CRA issues a CCB notification.
This notice will detail how much CCB you are entitled to and any amounts that need to be repaid if applicable. Typically, you will receive this notice by mail each year after the CRA processes your income tax return.
What is CRA CCB Notice?
The CCB is an additional tax benefit offered by Canada to support families with the expenses of raising children. Once your CCB application is processed, you will receive a Canada Child Benefit Notice within 80 calendar days. This notice provides information about the amount and calculation of your benefit, if any.
The notice is based on your family’s income, and it is classified as a notification because it is provided in document form by the Canadian government.

Details on a CCB Notice
You will receive a CCB notice if you applied for the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) or were already receiving the Universal Child Care Benefit or the Canada Child Tax Benefit and have children under 18.
The notice specifies the amount you will receive if you qualify for the CCB. If there was an overpayment in previous installments, the notice will detail the CRA’s plan to recover the overpaid amount, possibly through your income tax refund or future CCB payments.
CCB Payment Amount
CCB payments are determined based on your family’s net income from the previous year and are issued from July to June. The amount you receive may change if your Adjusted Family Net Income (AFNI) changes between 2021 and 2022. Both you and your spouse or common-law partner must file separate tax returns each year, even with no income to report, to continue receiving the CCB.
For qualifying families with an AFNI of less than $32,797 as of June 2024, the maximum amount available per child is $6,997 per year ($583.08 per month) for children under six and $5,903 per year ($491.91 per month) for children aged six to seventeen. If the family’s net income exceeds $32,797, CCB payments will decrease.
