Is it more cost-efficient if I use direct deposit instead of having my Universal Child Care Benefit cheque mailed to me?
Yes. Cost-efficiency is a key concern for this Government and was a major consideration in the design of the Universal Child Care Benefit. Specifically, the Government of Canada saves approximately 87 percent of the total cost for issuing UCCB payments that are made by direct deposit versus those that are printed and mailed to benefit recipients. Those savings come from paper, printing, insertion and mailing costs.
