- your income is now too high (recalculation happens every July, based on your income from the previous year, indexed to inflation)
- your child turned 18
- you no longer have a child in your care
- you stopped meeting any of the eligibility criteria, including residency and citizenship requirements
- You, your spouse or common-law partner are missing a statement of world income
Make sure to tell the CRA if your situation changes.
Payment Changed
Your payment may have changed for the following reasons:
- your family net income changed (we recalculate payments every July, based on income from the previous year, indexed to inflation)
- your marital status changed
- the number of children in your care changed
- your child turned 6
- one of your children turned 18
- one of your children is no longer in your care
- your custody arrangement changed
Consult your benefit notice in My Account for details of your calculation.
Repayment or Overpayment
If a recalculation shows that we paid you too much CCB, the CRA will send you a notice with a remittance voucher attached to inform you of the balance owing.
The CRA may keep all or a portion of future CCB payments, income tax refunds, or goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credits until your balance owing is repaid. This may also apply to other federal, provincial, and territorial programs that the CRA administers.
If you received a repayment notice, go to Payments to the Canada Revenue Agency.
