Update on the Canada Disability Benefit

March 3, 2025 by DABC

Big news! 🎉

Today, Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities, Kamal Khera, announced that regulations for the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) are complete, and will come into force on May 15th, 2025. The first CDB cheques will be dispersed in July 2025.

Read Minister Khera’s statement here.

The Government has also confirmed that the Disability Tax Credit will be the main prerequisite for the CDB. To learn more, click here to read our blog post from October 2024 “What the Disability Tax Credit means for the Canada Disability Benefit.”

Plan Institute recently created a website dedicated to the CDB, and it’s a fantastic resource. Check out their page on preparing for the CDB here.

While we still wish that the CDB would put more money into the hands of more people with disabilities in Canada, it is indeed great news that eligible people will be able to benefit from it very soon.
