Canada Workers Benefit

The Canada Workers Benefit (CWB) is a refundable tax credit to help individuals and families who are working and earning a low income.

The CWB has two parts: a basic amount and a disability supplement.

You can claim the CWB when you file your income tax return.

For those who are entitled to the CWB on their income tax return, advance payments of up to 50% of the CWB will be issued under the Advanced Canada workers benefit (ACWB). These advanced payments will be issued automatically across 3 payments, there is no need to apply. This initiative puts more money in the workers' pockets to help cope with the rising cost of living.
