June 2026 is shaping up to be the most significant month of the entire benefit year for millions of Canadians who rely on CRA benefit payments to manage household expenses.
Five separate federal and provincial benefit programs will deliver payments throughout June, starting with a major one-time deposit that has never been issued before.
The headline payment is the one-time GST/HST credit top-up arriving on June 5 as part of the transition to the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit.
That single deposit will put up to $533 into the accounts of eligible families and up to $267 for qualifying single individuals.
It is separate from the regular quarterly GST/HST credit that landed on April 2 and will be the final CRA payment payment issued before the GST/HST credit is renamed the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit in July.
Beyond that top-up, there are 5 other CRA benefit payment deposits are also scheduled to arrive in June on different dates.
June also marks the final month of the July 2025 to June 2026 benefit year, meaning every payment issued this month reflects calculations based on your 2024 tax return.
Starting in July, the CRA will switch to 2025 tax return data for all income-tested benefits, and several programs will see confirmed increases from inflation indexation.

Complete June 2026 CRA Benefit Payment Schedule
The following table shows every confirmed benefit payment date in June 2026 along with the maximum amount and the administering agency.
| Benefit Program | Date | Maximum Amount | Administered By |
| GST/HST Credit One-Time Top-Up | June 5 | Up to $533 (family of 4) | CRA |
| Ontario Trillium Benefit | June 10 | Varies by income | CRA (for Ontario) |
| Canada Disability Benefit | June 18 | Up to $200/month | Service Canada |
| Canada Child Benefit | June 19 | Up to $666.41/month (under 6) | CRA |
| CPP and OAS | June 26 | Up to $2,325.01 combined | Service Canada |
Direct deposit recipients will typically see funds in their bank accounts on the morning of each scheduled payment date.
Canadians who receive payments by cheque should allow five to ten additional business days for mail delivery after each official date.
GST/HST Credit One-Time Top-Up
The most anticipated payment of the month is the one-time GST/HST credit top-up confirmed for June 5, 2026.
This payment equals 50% of your total annual GST/HST credit amount for the July 2025 to June 2026 benefit year, according to the official CRA page for the one-time top-up.
It is calculated using your 2024 adjusted family net income and your family situation as of January 2026.
The federal government introduced this payment as part of the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit transition through Bill C-19, which received Royal Assent on February 12, 2026.
More than 12 million Canadians with low and modest incomes are expected to receive this deposit automatically without a separate application.
To qualify, you and your spouse or common-law partner must have filed your 2024 tax return and been entitled to the January 2026 GST/HST credit payment.
The payment may still appear as the GST/HST credit in your bank statement while financial institutions update their systems.
Maximum One-Time Top-Up Amounts By Family Situation
| Family Situation | Maximum Top-Up |
| Single individual, no children | $267 |
| Single parent, 1 child | $441 |
| Single parent, 2 children | $533 |
| Single parent, 3 children | $625 |
| Single parent, 4 children | $717 |
| Couple, no children | $349 |
| Couple, 1 child | $441 |
| Couple, 2 children | $533 |
| Couple, 3 children | $625 |
| Couple, 4 children | $717 |
These are maximum amounts that apply only when your adjusted family net income falls below the CRA eligibility thresholds for the 2024 base year.
If you have shared custody of a child, each parent will receive half of the amount they would have been paid if they had full custody.
The federal government provided a specific example showing that a single person with $25,000 in net income will receive a one-time top-up of $267 on June 5 plus an additional $136 annual increase starting with the July 2026 quarterly payments.
A family of four with $40,000 in net income will receive a one-time top-up of $533 on June 5, plus an increase of $272 for the 2026-27 benefit year.
Combined with the enhanced quarterly payments beginning July 3, a family of four could receive up to $1,890 in total Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit support in 2026.
A single individual could receive up to $950 in 2026 when the top-up and enhanced quarterly payments are combined.
Ontario Trillium Benefit Payment
The next Ontario Trillium Benefit payment is scheduled for Wednesday, June 10, 2026.
The OTB is a tax-free monthly payment that combines three separate provincial credits into one deposit for eligible Ontario residents.
Those three credits are the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit, the Northern Ontario Energy Credit, and the Ontario Sales Tax Credit.
The CRA administers this benefit on behalf of the Ontario government and deposits it directly into eligible recipients’ bank accounts each month.
The June 10 payment is the final OTB deposit of the current July 2025 to June 2026 benefit year, which uses your 2024 income tax return for calculating payment amounts.
Ontario residents who filed their 2025 tax return by the April 30 deadline and had it assessed before June 19 will start receiving the new benefit year payments in July 2026.
Ontarians with an annual OTB entitlement of $360 or less will not receive a monthly payment in June and will instead receive a lump sum in July.
The Ontario Sales Tax Credit component is increasing to $378 per person for the July 2026 to June 2027 benefit year, reflecting the latest inflation adjustment.
Canada Disability Benefit Payment
The next Canada Disability Benefit payment is scheduled for Thursday, June 18, 2026.
The CDB provides up to $200 per month to eligible low-income Canadians aged 18 to 64 who have been approved for the Disability Tax Credit.
Service Canada administers this benefit, which launched in July 2025 as one of the most significant additions to the federal social safety net in recent years.
The maximum annual CDB amount for the current benefit year running through June 2026 is $2,400, paid in monthly installments.
Single individuals receive the full $200 monthly benefit when their adjusted family net income is $23,000 or less.
For every dollar earned above that threshold, the benefit is reduced by 20 cents until it phases out entirely.
Couples where one partner is eligible receive the full benefit when combined family income is $32,500 or less.
The June 18 deposit is the final CDB payment at current rates before the CRA applies a confirmed 2% indexation increase for the new benefit year starting in July 2026.
That indexation will raise the maximum monthly payment from $200 to $204 and increase the income thresholds, meaning more Canadians may qualify for the full amount.
Canada Child Benefit Payment
The next Canada Child Benefit payment is scheduled for Friday, June 19, 2026.
The CCB is a tax-free monthly payment from the CRA that helps eligible families cover the cost of raising children under 18.
It is one of the largest federal benefit programs in the country, reaching millions of Canadian households every single month.
The June 19 deposit is the final CCB payment of the July 2025 to June 2026 benefit year.
Current CCB Maximum Amounts (July 2025 to June 2026)
| Child Age Group | Maximum Annual Amount |
| Children under 6 | $7,997 ($666.41/month) |
| Children aged 6 to 17 | $6,748 ($562.33/month) |
These maximum amounts apply to families with an adjusted family net income below $37,487 for the 2024 base year.
Payments begin to decrease gradually once income exceeds that threshold, with a second reduction applying above $81,222.
Starting with the July 20, 2026 deposit, the CRA will apply a confirmed 2% inflation indexation that raises the maximum to $8,157 per year for children under six and $6,883 per year for children aged six to 17.
Families eligible for the maximum amounts could see an annual increase of $160 per child under six and $135 per child aged six to 17.
That translates to about $13.34 more per month for each younger child and about $11.25 more per month for each older child.
CPP And OAS Payments On June 26
The next round of Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security payments are scheduled for Friday, June 26, 2026, according to the official Service Canada benefits payment calendar.
The June 26 deposit is the last CPP and OAS payment of the current April-to-June 2026 OAS quarter before amounts are reviewed again for July.
CPP And OAS Maximum Amounts For June 2026
| Benefit Type | Maximum Monthly Amount |
| CPP retirement pension (at age 65) | $1,507.65 |
| Average CPP for new beneficiaries (at 65) | $925.35 |
| OAS pension (ages 65 to 74) | $743.05 |
| OAS pension (ages 75 and over) | $817.36 |
| GIS (single, maximum) | $1,109.85 |
| CPP disability pension (maximum) | $1,741.20 |
The OAS amounts shown above reflect the 0.1% quarterly increase that took effect in April 2026 for the current April to June quarter, as confirmed on the official Government of Canada benefits table.
The CPP retirement pension adjusts once annually each January, so the June deposit reflects the same 2.0% increase that was applied at the start of the year.
A senior aged 75 or older who qualifies for the maximum CPP retirement pension and full OAS could receive up to $2,325.01 from those two payments combined in June.
Most seniors receive substantially less than the maximum CPP amount because it depends entirely on how much and how long they contributed during their working years.
The OAS pension is based on age, years of Canadian residency after age 18, and income thresholds rather than employment contributions.
Seniors with 2024 net world income above $95,323 may have a portion of their OAS reduced through the OAS recovery tax, commonly known as the clawback.
Low-income seniors already receiving OAS may also qualify for the Guaranteed Income Supplement, which provides additional monthly support based on income level and is recalculated every July using the previous year’s tax return data.
4 CRA Benefit Payments Are Increasing In July 2026
July 2026 brings the start of a new benefit year for most CRA programs, and several major changes will take effect that month based on confirmed government announcements.
The GST/HST credit will be officially renamed the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit starting with the July 3 quarterly payment.
The new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit will provide a 25% increase to quarterly amounts for five years, beginning with the July 2026 payment.
The Canada Child Benefit maximum amounts will rise by 2% to $8,157 per year for children under six and $6,883 for children aged six to 17.
The Canada Disability Benefit maximum will increase from $200 to $204 per month under the confirmed 2% indexation adjustment.
OAS amounts will undergo their regular quarterly review in July based on the latest Consumer Price Index data.
All income-tested benefits will be recalculated using 2025 tax return data, which means families whose income changed significantly between 2024 and 2025 could see their benefit amounts increase or decrease starting in July.
Filing your 2025 tax return before the April 30 deadline was essential because the CRA cannot recalculate your benefits without current tax information, and late filing can delay or interrupt payments for several weeks or months.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need to apply separately for the one-time GST/HST credit top-up on June 5?
No separate application is required. If you filed your 2024 tax return and were entitled to the January 2026 GST/HST credit payment, the CRA will calculate and issue the top-up automatically on June 5, 2026.
Will the June 5 top-up reduce my other CRA benefits like the CCB or Ontario Trillium Benefit?
No, receiving the one-time top-up will not reduce your Canada Child Benefit, Ontario Trillium Benefit, Canada Workers Benefit, or any other federal or provincial benefit payment you currently receive.
Can newcomers to Canada and temporary residents receive CRA benefit payments in June 2026?
Permanent residents can apply for most CRA benefits as soon as they arrive in Canada. Temporary residents may qualify for certain benefits after meeting specific residency requirements, including at least 18 consecutive months of residence for the CCB. Eligibility varies by program, so newcomers should file a tax return and check CRA My Account for their individual entitlements.
When will the Groceries and Essentials Benefit replace the GST/HST credit?
The Groceries and Essentials Benefit officially replaces the GST/HST credit starting with the July 3, 2026 quarterly payment. The eligibility rules and quarterly payment structure remain identical, but all amounts will increase by 25% for the next five years.
