Universal Child Care Benefit :
The UCCB is designed to help Canadian families, as they try to balance work and family life, by supporting their child care choices through direct financial support.
The UCCB is a monthly payment of $100 per eligible child under the age of 6 years.
Eligibility :
To receive the UCCB, all the following conditions must be met.
a) You must live with the child, and the child must be under the age of 6;
b) You must be the person who is primarily responsible for the care and upbringing of the child :
This means you are responsible for such things as supervising the child’s daily activities and needs, making sure the child’s medical needs are met, and arranging for child care when necessary. If there is a parent who lives with the child, we usually consider her to be this person. However, it could be the father, a grandparent, or a guardian.
Note :
You may not be considered primarily responsible for the care and upbringing of a child if the child is legally, physically or financially maintained by a child welfare agency. For more information, go to the children’s special allowances (CSA) fact sheet or call 1-800-387-1193.
c) You must be a resident of Canada :
We consider you to be a resident of Canada when you establish sufficient residential ties in Canada.
d) You or your spouse or common-law partner must be :
** Canadian citizen;
** “permanent resident” (as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act);
** “protected person” (as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act); or
** “temporary resident” (as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act) who has lived in Canada throughout the previous 18 months, and who has a valid permit in the 19th month (other than one that states “does not confer status”). If this is your situation, you should not apply before the 19th month.
When Do Apply :
Generally, you should apply for the UCCB as soon as possible after :
** your child is born;
** a child starts to live with you; or
** you become a resident of Canada.
