Canada Workers Benefit payment

The amount you can expect to receive for the Canada Workers Benefit (CWB) depends on your income and your province or territory of residence.

For those who are entitled to the Canada Workers Benefit (CWB) on their income tax return, advance payments of up to 50 per cent of the CWB are issued under the Advanced Canada Workers Benefit (ACWB). Advanced payments are issued in three payments during the year.

What is the Canada Workers Benefit and do I need to apply?

The CWB is a refundable tax credit aimed at helping individuals and families who are working and earning a low income. The initiative “puts more money in the workers’ pockets to help cope with the rising cost of living,â€� .

The benefit comes in two parts: a basic amount and a disability supplement.

You can claim the CWB when you file your income tax return. You don’t need to apply. 

Advanced payment dates for 2025

The advanced payments are issued in three payments on:

• Jan. 10
• July 12 (Payments will come out July 11 since July 12 is a Saturday) 
• Oct. 11

When the payment date falls on a Saturday, a Sunday or a federal statutory holiday, the payment will be made on the last business day prior to the posted payment date.

What if I didn’t get my payment?

If you did not get your payment on the expected date, it’s advised you wait 10 working days before contacting the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

How much money could I receive?

The AWB is another benefit that is indexed to inflation. In July, the benefit rate will increase by 2.7 per cent. 

For single people, the maximum basic amount is now $1,633 and families can get up to $2,813.

The maximum basic ACWB amount will vary for residents of Quebec, Nunavut and Alberta.

Disability supplement maximum amount

For individuals, the maximum disability supplement amount is $843.

The maximum amount for the disability supplement will vary for residents of Quebec and Nunavut.

How is the CWB refundable tax credit calculated?

The CRA uses your martial status, province or territory of residence, earned working incomes, adjusted family net income, eligible dependant information and your eligibility for the disability tax credit to calculate the benefit. 

You must be a resident of Canada on the first day of the quarter to be eligible for the advanced payments. You can estimate your advanced payments by using the .
