As part of Ontario's 2021 budget, the Ford government announced they had doubled Ontario's COVID-19 child benefit — a program that provides money to help support families throughout the pandemic.

For every child you have from the age of zero to grade 12, you will receive $400, states the government.

For those who haven't applied yet, you still can. Applications for the latest round of funding will open on May 3, 2021, with a deadline of May 17, 2021.
