❓ FAQ

How is the CDB calculated for couples? ▼

The CDB for couples is based on your combined adjusted family net income. A working income exemption of up to $14,000 is applied to combined working income. If income after exemption is below $32,500, you get the maximum benefit.

What if only one partner is eligible for CDB? ▼

If only one partner is eligible, the couple threshold ($32,500) and couple exemption ($14,000) still apply to your combined income. The eligible partner receives the benefit.

What if both partners are eligible for CDB? ▼

If both partners are eligible, each receives their own benefit. The reduction is split — each partner's benefit is reduced by 10 cents per dollar over the threshold, rather than 20 cents.

How is combined working income calculated? ▼

Combined working income is the sum of both partners' employment, self-employment, and taxable scholarship income. Up to $14,000 of this combined amount is exempt.

What is the maximum benefit for couples? ▼

The maximum benefit is $2,400 per year ($200 per month) per eligible person. For a couple where both are eligible, the household maximum is $4,800 per year ($400 per month).

Do both partners need to file taxes? ▼

Yes, both you and your spouse or common-law partner must have filed your federal income tax return for the relevant year.
