Default Harper $100 monthly bonus

When do we start to get it? If the baby is born half-way through the month, do you get $50 for that month, or nothing til the first full month? Anyone know?

when you fill out the forms for cctb, you are automatically signed up for uccb. and if you are already receiving cctb, you'll get uccb automatically, no forms to fill out.

Don't forget to claim it as it is taxable income. Stupid Harper.

I don't understand what you mean by this. I have a child born in October. In the month after she turned 6, the benefit was discontinued. It did not continue until the end of the year so I'm not sure how being born at the end of the year is of any benefit.

Default UCCB starts the next month after baby is born!?!

Just got my assessment for both UCCB and CCTB - my baby was born in Feb and it said the entitlement schedule is: March to June $100/month. So, the benefit starts in March? How about Feb? (The b-day listed on the assessment is correct though).

I'm curious about that as well, as my son was born Feb 28th. I was wondering if I'd get the $100 for Feb, but it looks like the answer is no.

Nope, you don't get UCCB or CCTB(baby bonus) for the month the child is born in. It especially sucks if your baby was born near the start of the month as one of kids was born Aug.2 so our benefits didn't start til September.

And they took away money from the CCTB when this was introduced. So depending on your province the $100 UCCB really only nets you $55 or so.

Unless one parent has no income then there is no tax payable on it.

Actually even if one parent has no income, there is still tax payable on it indirectly. The working parent cannot claim the spouse as completely dependent now because of the child benefit. So normally you could claim a spousal amount of $7,505 if the spouse has no income but instead you now reduce the amount you can claim as the spousal amount because the spouse now has an income from the child benefit. So you are paying tax on part of it anyway even with only one wroking parent.

You're right. That's even more annoying. We only got it for 2 months IIRC so I didn't pay much attention. When it was announced I got the impression that it was going to be structured so that it did not change the spousal credit.

The UCCB doesn't affect the CCTB, GST rebate though. It may or may not affect provincial social benefits.
