How much will I receive?
Your payment is based on the number of children under age 18 in your family and your adjusted family net income. You may be eligible for the Ontario Child Benefit whether you work or not.
In July 2009, maximum payments increased from $50 to almost $92 per month for each child. That’s an increase from a maximum of $600 per year to up to $1,100 per year for each child.
