Canadian parents expecting this month's child benefit cheques will have to wait a little while longer because of the ongoing Canada Post strike.
Canada Child Benefit and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers , some benefit cheques, including the Canada Child Benefit , will continue to be delivered despite theDecember payments of the CCB are set to go out to eligible families who have children under the age of 18 on Friday. But those who are expecting cheques will see a one-week delay, according to the Canada Revenue Agency.
“Canada Post will deliver benefit cheques for the Canada child benefit and related provincial and territorial benefits on December 20, 2024, one week later than expected,”Canada Post told Global News on Thursday that under the agreement with the union, “CUPW has committed to provide enough volunteers to deliver the cheques.”In December, parents could receive a maximum payment of $648.91 for each child under the age of six years. That is an annual increase of 4.7 per cent relative to 2023.
Families will get the maximum amount for each child if their adjusted family net income is less than $36,502.Families whose total benefits for the year are less than $240 would have received a lump sum amount in July and therefore won’t be getting anything in December.
“Direct deposit is the most efficient and surest method of payment that will not be impacted by a postal disruption,”Both sides are still at odds over wage increases and weekend delivery among other issues including health and pension benefits in their labour negotiations.Viewed
