June 2025 Benefit Payment Dates: What to Expect
Several major federal and provincial payments are scheduled for June 2025. Here are the key programs and how much eligible recipients can expect.
Canada Child Benefit (CCB) – June 20, 2025
The Canada Child Benefit will be deposited on June 20, 2025, offering tax-free monthly payments to support families with children under 18.
For the 2025–2026 benefit year, eligible families can receive:
- Up to \$7,787 annually (approx. \$649/month) for children under age 6
- Up to \$6,570 annually (approx. \$547/month) for children aged 6 to 17
- Additional \$3,173 per year for children with a qualifying disability
This benefit is income-tested, meaning higher family income leads to reduced payments. The amount is recalculated every July based on the previous year’s tax return.
Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB) – June 10, 2025
For residents of Ontario, the next OTB payment will arrive on June 10, 2025. This monthly benefit combines three separate provincial credits into one consolidated payment:

- Energy and Property Tax Credit – Between \$1,248 and \$1,421 annually depending on household income and location
- Northern Ontario Energy Credit – Additional \$180 to \$277 for qualifying northern residents
Payments are automatically issued to those who filed their 2023 tax return and meet income requirements.
Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) – June 26, 2025
CPP and OAS payments for the month of June will be deposited on June 26, 2025. Here’s what recipients can expect:
- OAS (age 65–74): \$707.67/month (for incomes below \$148,451)
- OAS (age 75+): \$880.44/month (for incomes below \$154,196)
- CPP Average Payment: Approximately \$758/month
- CPP Maximum Payment: Up to \$1,364.60/month
These amounts are indexed quarterly to account for inflation. Seniors receiving both CPP and OAS can expect a significant monthly income boost in June.
Veterans Affairs Canada Payments – June 27, 2025
Veterans receiving support from Veterans Affairs Canada will be issued their monthly Disability Pension and Pain and Suffering Compensation on June 27, 2025.
These payments are:
- Tax-free

Ontario residents will receive their next OTB payment on July 10, 2025, with amounts determined by the same three credit streams.
CPP and OAS – July 29, 2025
July’s pension payments will arrive on July 29, 2025, continuing the end-of-month schedule for both CPP and OAS.
Canada Disability Benefit Launch – July 2025
The new Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) officially launches in July 2025, marking a historic expansion of federal financial support for Canadians with disabilities.
Key details:
