As June 2025 approaches, many Canadians are keeping a close eye on the calendar—especially those relying on federal benefit programs administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Whether you’re a parent, a low-income household, or simply planning ahead, knowing when to expect your monthly or quarterly deposits is essential for managing expenses like groceries, rent, and child-related costs.
The CRA disburses a variety of payments each month to support citizens across different income brackets and family situations. While some benefits, such as the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), arrive monthly, others like the GST/HST credit and Grocery Rebate are issued quarterly. Although no GST or Grocery Rebate is expected in June, several other key payouts are scheduled that may apply to you or your household.
