With the arrival of June, many Canadians will be expecting government financial aid delivered by the Canada Revenue Agency and Service Canada on a fixed schedule. These payments assist millions in paying for such immediate expenses as groceries, rent, and childcare. The first week of June 2025 carries several benefit payments, each targeting distinct groups of eligible residents.
Canada Child Benefit (CCB) Payment
Early in June, families with children under the age of 18 will get their monthly CCB payments. This tax-free payment is based on the household income and the number of children at home. While inflationary pressures persist, this CCB will remain a reliable support mechanism assisting parents financially in raising their children.
OAS and GIS
All seniors in Canada would receive their monthly OAS pensions, and low-income eligible individuals would get an understanding of their income in cash. These payments are vital for the retired who lived on their fixed income, with the June payments just coming at a period when summer brings more utility and medical expenses.
Advance Payment for CWB Payments
Eligible low-income workers might receive an advance payment of the Canada Workers Benefit if they opted into quarterly deposit installments. The CWB is to encourage work by giving extra federal payments to supplement the income of lower earners. Payments paid in June are significant as the second quarterly instalment in 2025.
GST/HST Credit (Dependent on Applicability for June Cycle)
If qualified under the Goods and Services Tax credit, the June cycle may reward the household one of its quarterly instalments. This tax-free instalment offsets some of the GST or HST paid on goods and services and is particularly focused on the low-income Canadian.
Employment Insurance (EI) Payments
Canadians receiving EI benefits during the first week of June are assumed to be paid biweekly so long as such claimant remains active and reporting is up to date. EI offers temporary income support to persons who have lost employment or are on leaves due to certain life situations such as illness, parental, or care-giving leaves.
