$1,518 Canada Workers Benefit Payment for June 2025 – Are You Eligible? Check Payment Date Here

The Canada Workers Benefit (CWB) is back for 2025, and if you’re a working Canadian with low to moderate income, you might be in for a welcome financial boost. The June 2025 installment could be as much as $1,518 for individuals, and even more if you have a family or qualify for the disability supplement. But before you count on that deposit, it’s important to know exactly who qualifies, how payments are calculated, and what you need to do to get your money on time.

Let’s break it down so you don’t leave any money on the table.

Overview

The Canada Workers Benefit is a refundable tax credit meant to supplement the income of lower-wage workers. Its main purpose? Encourage and reward work by putting more money back in your pocket. It’s automatically calculated when you file your taxes, but there are some key details you need to be aware of to avoid missing out.

Amounts

How much you get from the CWB really depends on your income and family situation. Here’s a basic outline:

• If you’re single: You can get up to $1,518 in June.
• If you’re part of a family: The combined benefit may reach $2,838.
• If you or your spouse has a disability: You could get an additional $1,000.

The benefit starts to phase out once your income crosses a certain threshold. And once you’re past that upper limit, the benefit disappears completely.

Eligibility

To receive the CWB, you need to meet several basic criteria:

• Be at least 19 years old by June 30, 2025, or live with a spouse or child
• Be a resident of Canada for tax purposes throughout the year
• Have employment or self-employment income
• Fall within the qualifying income range
• Not be a full-time student unless you have dependents
• Not be incarcerated for more than 90 days during the year

If you or your spouse is eligible for the disability tax credit, you might also get the CWB Disability Supplement—just make sure you apply for it.

Timing

The CWB gets paid out in four installments:

• March
• June
• September
• December (or when you file taxes)

The June 2025 payment is based on your 2024 tax return. If you haven’t filed it, don’t expect a payment. No taxes filed = no benefit.

Tracking

Want to know where your money is or if you even qualify? Here’s how to check:

1. CRA MyAccount – This is your personal dashboard where you can see benefit payments, tax info, and update your details.
2. CWB Calculator – Enter your income, marital status, and family details to estimate your payment.
3. File Your Taxes – This one’s a no-brainer. Without a return, the CRA won’t process your benefit.

Mistakes

Even though the process seems simple, people still slip up. Here are the most common mistakes:
