Alberta benefits for individuals and families
Alberta child and family benefit
This benefit is a non-taxable amount paid to lower- and middle-income families with children under 18 years of age. This program is fully funded by the Province of Alberta. The annual amount is split into four payments and is paid separately from the Canada child benefit.
You do not need to apply for the Alberta child and family benefit. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will use the information from your Form RC66, Canada Child Benefits Application to determine if you are entitled to receive this benefit.
File your return
To make sure you get your payments on time, you and your spouse or common-law partner need to file your 2023 Income Tax and Benefit Return(s) by April 30, 2024. The CRA will use the information from your return(s) to calculate the payments you are entitled to get from this program.
