Why were benefits for children moved out of the Income Support program and into the CCTB/NLCB?
Moving benefits into the CCTB/NLCB protects these benefits from being clawed back as you move from Income Support to independence. The CCTB/NLCB is calculated only once a year based on your previous year’s family income. If your family’s income increases this year due to employment and ineligibility for Income Support, your child benefits will continue uninterrupted until June when they are recalculated again.
