If you’re in Canada and feeling the pinch of rising costs, some relief is on the way. Between June and August 2025, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is rolling out several key benefits to help families, workers, and individuals manage inflation.
These upcoming payments—from climate rebates to child benefits—are designed to cushion the financial pressure many are experiencing due to groceries, gas, and rent increases. Whether you’re a parent, a low-income worker, or living with a disability, there’s something in this for you.
Let’s break down each benefit, who qualifies, and when the money arrives.
Overview
Here’s a quick look at the five main CRA benefits arriving this summer:
| Benefit | Payment Date | Regions | Estimated Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) | July 15, 2025 | AB, SK, MB, ON, NB, NS, PEI, NL | $280–$386 (family of four) |
| Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) | Starting July | Nationwide | $300–$600/month (expected) |
| GST/HST Credit | July 5, 2025 | Nationwide | Up to $650/year (couples) |
| Canada Child Benefit (CCB) | July 19, 2025 | Nationwide | Up to $7,437 per child annually |
| Advanced Canada Workers Benefit | July 12, 2025 | Nationwide | $500–$1,500 depending on income |
Carbon
The Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) helps offset the cost of federal carbon pricing. If you live in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, or most Atlantic provinces (excluding Quebec), you’re in the eligible zone.
Here’s what a family of four can expect:
| Province | Single Adult | Family of Four |
|---|---|---|
| Alberta | $193 | $386 |
| Saskatchewan | $170 | $340 |
| Manitoba | $150 | $300 |
| Ontario | $140 | $280 |
The next CCR payment lands on July 15, 2025. It’s paid quarterly and delivered via direct deposit. Double-check your CRA account to ensure your bank details are current.
Disability
Launching for the first time in July 2025, the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) is aimed at helping adults living with disabilities.
Expected features:
- Monthly payment of $300 to $600, tax-free
- Targeted to low-income Canadians aged 18–64
- Requires Disability Tax Credit (DTC) eligibility or equivalent provincial verification
More details are expected soon, but you won’t need to reapply if you’re already approved for other disability supports. This benefit is designed to fill gaps in existing provincial programs and is meant to be ongoing.
GST Credit
The GST/HST Credit is a quiet but dependable quarterly payment for low and moderate-income Canadians. It’s based on your 2024 income tax return.
Next payment: July 5, 2025
Expected amounts:
- Up to $496 for singles
- Up to $650 for couples
- $171 per child
If your income is low, even with zero earnings, you may still qualify. Just make sure you file your taxes, even if you didn’t earn anything last year.
Child Benefit
The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) continues to be a major help for parents raising kids under 18.
Next payment: July 19, 2025
- Up to $7,437 annually per child
- Based on 2024 income and dependent info
- July is also when your annual CCB amount is recalculated
Update your marital and parental status in your CRA account to ensure the payment amount is accurate and uninterrupted.
Workers
If you’re a low-income worker, the Advanced Canada Workers Benefit (ACWB) gives you half of your annual benefit upfront—no application needed.
Next payment: July 12, 2025
- $500–$1,500, based on your income and family size
- Automatically issued if you qualify on your 2024 return
This is one of those benefits you might not expect—but it can make a huge difference when managing summer expenses.
With prices still climbing, these summer 2025 CRA payments can give your finances a little breathing room. They’re not windfalls, but they’re timely and targeted. Just make sure your taxes are filed, your CRA account is updated, and your eligibility is in check. That way, you won’t miss out on money that could be sitting there waiting for you.
