5 government benefit payments you can get from the CRA & Service Canada in June 2025
Just in time for summer expenses! 💸
Here are 5 government payments (plus one bonus!) Canadians can get in June 2025.
As we roll toward June, a fresh wave of government payments are headed to eligible Canadians, straight from the feds at the Canada Revenue Agency and Service Canada.
Whether you're managing rising grocery bills, covering child care or just trying to stay ahead on rent, the June 2025 federal benefits lineup could help ease the pressure.
June marks the final payment of the benefit year for several federal programs, which means some payments will be getting a bump in July and new recipients might soon start seeing deposits for the first time based on their 2024 taxes.
Here's your full breakdown of the government benefit payments arriving in June 2025 — including who gets what, how much you could receive and when those dollars are expected to hit your bank account.
Ontario Trillium Benefit
The Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB) is a monthly payment that helps ease the cost of living for lower- and middle-income residents in Ontario. It's delivered by the CRA but it's an Ontario government payment that combines three credits into a single monthly payment: the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit (OEPTC), the Northern Ontario Energy Credit (NOEC) and the Ontario Sales Tax Credit (OSTC).
The June 2025 OTB payment is the final one based on the 2023 tax year, so you'll need to have filed that year's return and been eligible for at least one of the credits that year to receive the OTB.
How much you can get: The size of your June payment depends on your income and which credits you're eligible for. These are the maximum monthly amounts you can receive for each in June:
- OEPTC: $104 if you're 18 to 64 years old, or $118.41 if you're 65 or older
- NOEC: $15 for individuals or $23.08 for families
- OSTC: $30 for each family member — including you, your spouse and your dependants
For example, a family of four receiving the maximum from all three credits would get $351.08 this month.
Also worth noting: If you chose the lump-sum option on your 2023 return and your OTB entitlement was over $360, this is when you'll receive the full year's amount in one payment — meaning you could get up to 12 times the maximums above this month if you're receiving it all at once.
Next payment date: June 10, 2025
Canada Child Benefit
The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is a monthly tax-free payment from the Canada Revenue Agency aimed at supporting parents and guardians by providing financial help for everyday child-related expenses — from food and clothing to school supplies and more.
To get the CCB, you must live with a child under the age of 18 and be their primary caregiver. You also need to be a Canadian resident for tax purposes, and either you or your spouse or partner has to meet specific status requirements — like being a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or someone with protected person status.
How much you can get: Your monthly CCB amount depends on your adjusted family income, the number of children in your care and their ages. The June payment is the final instalment based on the 2023 tax year — here are the maximum amounts you can get this month if your 2023 income was less than $36,502:
- $648.91 for each child under 6
- $547.50 for each child aged 6 to 17
If your household income is above that threshold, the payment is gradually reduced. Some families also receive extra credits through provincial or territorial top-ups or additional amounts for children with disabilities, depending on your situation and where you live.
Next payment date: June 20, 2025
Canada Pension Plan
The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) offers monthly payments to help replace a portion of your earnings after you retire. It's a steady source of income designed to support Canadians later in life, based on how much you contributed during your working years. In Quebec, a similar program called the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) provides the same kind of support, though it follows a slightly different set of rules.
You can begin collecting the CPP as early as age 60, as long as you've made at least one valid contribution to the plan or obtained credits another way, like in a divorce or separation.
How much you can get: CPP amounts vary widely based on your individual work history, total contributions and the age you start collecting. For someone who began receiving CPP at age 65 in January 2025, the maximum monthly payment is $1,433. The average, though, is much lower — around $900 per month, according to the CRA.

Next payment date: June 26, 2025
Old Age Security
Old Age Security (OAS) is a monthly payment from the federal government that gives seniors a bit of extra financial support once they hit 65. Unlike the CPP, you don't need to have worked or paid into a program to qualify — it's based mostly on your age, income and how long you've lived in Canada.
To be eligible, you need to be at least 65 years old and have lived in Canada for at least 10 years since turning 18. If you're currently living outside the country, the residency requirement goes up to 20 years. Most people are signed up automatically, but if you don't hear anything from Service Canada by your 64th birthday, it's a good idea to check your status and apply just in case.
There are also extra supports available if for those living on a low income. The Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) provides a monthly top-up for OAS recipients, while the Allowance and Allowance for the Survivor are available to eligible spouses and widows aged 60 to 64.
How much you can get: Your monthly payment amount depends on your age, income and whether you're receiving any of the supplemental programs. For June 2025, here are the maximum monthly amounts:
- OAS: $727.67 if you're 65 to 74, or $800.44 if you're 75 or older (payments increase by 10% the month after your 75th birthday)
- GIS: $1,086.88 if you're single or your partner doesn't get OAS, or $654.23 if your partner receives OAS or an Allowance
- Allowance: $1,381.90 if your spouse gets OAS and GIS, or $1,647.34 if you're a widow
Keep in mind these are the maximum amounts, which are subject to a reduction based on income. OAS and its supplements are reviewed every three months to keep up with inflation, with the next review coming in July.
Next payment date: June 26, 2025
Veteran Disability Pension
The Veteran Disability Pension offers monthly compensation to veterans who are living with a disability related to their military service. It's designed to recognize the lasting effects of injuries or illnesses connected to time spent in uniform — whether during training, active duty or deployment.
The VDP is available to Canadian Armed Forces veterans, veterans of the Second World War or Korean War, certain RCMP members and even some civilians who took part in wartime efforts during the Second World War.
This pension is managed by Veterans Affairs Canada — not Service Canada — and it's paid out for life once you're approved. To qualify, you need a diagnosed medical condition that can be directly tied to your service. In some cases, extra amounts may also be added for a spouse or dependent children.
How much you can get: The amount you're paid each month depends on the severity of your disability. For those with the most severe (Class 1) disability rating, the maximum monthly payment is currently $3,444.59. Veterans with dependants may receive additional support, with the total based on both the disability assessment and family situation.
Next payment date: June 27, 2025
BONUS: Canada Carbon Rebate
The Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) has officially wrapped up — but not everyone has received their final payment yet.
This quarterly tax-free rebate was designed to return the money collected through the federal carbon tax on fuel. The final payment date was technically on April 22, following the federal government's decision to scrap the consumer carbon tax as of April 1.
But here's the catch: Only those who filed their 2024 tax return by April 2 — about a month early — got that last payment on time. If you filed right before the deadline or a bit late, your money could still be on the way. The CRA says it's sending out the final CCR payment within six to eight weeks after your return is processed, so depending on your timing, your deposit could still hit in June.
This rebate only applied in provinces that followed the federal pollution pricing system: Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, P.E.I. and Saskatchewan. If you live in B.C., Quebec or one of the territories, your region either runs its own program or handles rebates differently.
How much you can get: The last CCR payout was boosted slightly, and the amounts aren't subject to reduction based on income — as long as you lived in an eligible province last year, you'll get the full amount. Here's what eligible residents will get in that final payment, depending on their province:
- Alberta: $228 for the first adult, plus $114 for a second adult or first child in a single-parent home, and $57 for each additional child
- Manitoba: $150 + $75 + $37.50
- New Brunswick: $165 + $82.50 + $41.25
- Newfoundland and Labrador: $149 + $74.50 + $37.25
- Nova Scotia: $110 + $55 + $27.50
- Ontario: $151 + $75.50 + $37.75
- P.E.I.: $110 + $55 + $27.50
- Saskatchewan: $206 + $103 + $51.50
If you live in a rural or small community, you'll also get a 20% top-up on your rebate (except in P.E.I., where it's already included). For example, a rural Alberta family of four would get $547.20.
Final payment date: April 22, 2025, OR around six to eight weeks after you file your 2024 tax return
