As June 2025 continues, millions of Canadians are set to receive important benefit payments from both federal and provincial governments. These include pensions, child care support, disability assistance, tax credits, and student benefits.
With the cost of living rising and inflation adjustments factored into some programs, knowing exactly when these payments arrive is essential for budgeting and planning.
Here’s a full breakdown of who gets what, how much, and when.
Seniors
Retirees and seniors can expect their Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) payments to be issued on June 26, 2025. These two programs work differently: CPP is based on your work contributions, while OAS is funded through taxes and based on residency and income.
For 2025, here are the key OAS and CPP figures:
| Program | Eligibility | Monthly Max (2025) | Payment Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPP | Age 60+, contribution-based | $1,433 (at 65) | June 26 |
| OAS (65–74) | Income < $148,451 | $707.67 | June 26 |
| OAS (75+) | Income < $154,196 | $880.44 | June 26 |
OAS is reviewed every quarter to reflect inflation. If you’re also eligible for GIS, Allowance, or Allowance for the Survivor, your monthly support could be even higher.
Children
Families with kids under 18 will receive the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) on June 20, 2025. This tax-free payment helps with the cost of raising children and is based on your adjusted net income.
For the 2024–25 benefit year:
- Up to $7,437 annually for children under 6
- Up to $6,275 for children aged 6 to 17
- Additional $3,173 for eligible children with disabilities (Child Disability Benefit)
In Ontario, the Ontario Child Benefit (OCB) is also available and pays up to $1,607 annually per child.
Here’s how that adds up:
| Child’s Age | Federal CCB (Annual) | Ontario OCB (Annual) | Total Max Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 6 | $7,437 | $1,607 | $9,044 |
| 6–17 | $6,275 | $1,607 | $7,882 |
To receive these payments, ensure your tax return is filed and your family info is up to date with the CRA.
Ontario
The Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB) will be paid on June 10, 2025. It includes three credits:
- Ontario Sales Tax Credit: up to $345
- Energy and Property Tax Credit: up to $1,194
- Northern Ontario Energy Credit: up to $158
These are paid in monthly installments or a lump sum, depending on your tax filing choice.
| Component | Annual Max | Payment Method | June Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales Tax Credit | $345 | Monthly/Annual | June 10 |
| Energy & Property Tax Credit | $1,194 | Monthly/Annual | June 10 |
| Northern Energy Credit | $158 | Monthly/Annual | June 10 |
Veterans
Veterans Affairs Canada will issue the next Disability Pension payment on June 27, 2025. This benefit supports those injured during military service and may also provide additional support for spouses or children.
These are tax-free, and payment amounts vary based on disability level. Veterans can choose monthly payments or a lump sum, although monthly payments are inflation-protected.
Students
If you’re a student aged 18–24 and have a parent who is deceased or receiving CPP Disability, you might qualify for student support.
In 2025:
- Full-time students receive $301.77/month
- Part-time students receive $150.89/month
You must be enrolled in a recognized school and meet attendance rules. These are usually paid around the same time as CPP.
Municipal
Some Ontario cities offer property tax relief and utility rebates to seniors and people with disabilities. To qualify:
- You must be 65+ or on ODSP
- You must own and live in the home for at least a year
- You must be receiving GIS or ODSP
There are specific rules for co-owned homes. For example:
| Scenario | Eligible? |
|---|---|
| Single senior homeowner on GIS | Yes |
| Couple, only one on ODSP | Yes |
| Siblings co-owning, only one on GIS | No |
If approved, households may also get a stormwater subsidy, either as a credit on their water bill or a cheque for condo owners.
Applications are accepted year-round, with a final deadline of December 31, 2025.
June 2025 is packed with important benefit payments across multiple levels of government. From senior pensions and child support to veteran aid and tax relief, these programs help Canadians maintain financial stability.
To make sure you don’t miss out, keep your tax filings, banking info, and addresses updated with the CRA and your local government. And if you’re applying for special programs like property tax relief or student support, don’t wait—get your paperwork in now.
