These payments help support Canadians with the cost of living and include both federal and provincial programs. The CRA also reminds Canadians to sign up for direct deposit and check their My Account for payment updates – especially with the potential for a Canada Post strike.

Final Canada Carbon Rebate Issued in April
As of March 15, 2025, the Government of Canada announced the end of the Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) for individuals. The final payment began on April 22, 2025. To receive it, individuals needed to file their 2024 tax return electronically by April 2, 2025. Late filers should receive their payment once their return is assessed.
Impact of Wildfires on Benefits
If you’ve been impacted by wildfires this summer, CRA has made information available on how to continue receiving benefits and manage your taxes during this time. Visit the CRA disaster support page for guidance.
Canada Post Strike – Get Paid Faster with Direct Deposit
With a possible Canada Post strike, Canadians are strongly encouraged to sign up for direct deposit to ensure they receive payments on time. Direct deposit sends your benefits straight to your bank account without delay or risk of postal disruption.
To sign up or check your next payment, log into CRA My Account and enable payment reminders to receive alerts about one week before your benefit is issued.
