These are distributed by the CRA in a single monthly payment with CDB Payments. In Quebec, child assistance is divided into two different levels: Federal and Provincial Level<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Federal Level: The CRA distributes the Canada Child Benefit (CCB).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provincial Level: Retraite Qu\u00e9bec distributes the Quebec Family Allowance separately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Two different programs operate under different administrative systems. Payment disbursement schedules, payment frequencies, and calculation rules are different from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"official-schedule-quebec-family-allowance-payment-dates-2026\">Official Schedule: Quebec Family Allowance Payment Dates 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Retraite Qu\u00e9bec distributes the Family Allowance Payments on default quarterly scheduled payment dates.
