Description of Transfer Payment Program: Tax-free monthly payments made to agencies and foster parents who are licensed by provincial or federal governments to provide for the care and education of children under the age of 18 who physically reside in Canada and who are not in the care of their parents. CSA payments are equivalent to Canada Child Tax Benefit payments. CSA payments are governed by the Children's Special Allowances Act which provides that this allowance be paid out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund.
Objective(s), expected result(s) and outcomes: the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency's expected outcome states that eligible families and individuals receive timely and correct benefit payments contributing to the integrity of the income security system. In this context, the specific objective of the CSA is to ensure that children in care receive their rightful share of entitlements. According to the CSA Act, the CSA payments “shall be applied exclusively toward the care, maintenance, education, training or advancement of the child in respect of whom it is paid.”
Achieved results or progress made: Monthly payments were made to 292 agencies on behalf of 55,818 children. Payments were issued on schedule, no delays were reported.
