The Canadian parents look forward to the increase in their Canada Child Benefit (CCB) in July 2025. On a positive note, however, the rise forthcoming will not be that high like those of the last two years.
Annual CCB Adjustments and Indexation
The Canadian government aligns it every July with the cost of living adjustments made in regards to any amount received as CCB. Indexation is actually a process which updates annually both income thresholds and maximum benefit amounts.
Indexation results in maximum benefits as well as benefit-income thresholds set out when those benefits first get reduced are higher annually. And with every cost-of-living increase, these adjustments put extra money into parents’ pockets for their kids’ needs every month, ESDC spokeswoman added. Those adjustment are determined annually based on Canada’s Consumer Price Index or average changes in pricing of the “basket” of goods and services purchased in any given period.
