The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has released its August 2026 benefit payment schedule, reports the Economic Times. Four key benefits will be paid on separate dates: the Ontario Trillium Benefit on August 10, the Canada Child Benefit on August 20, the Newfoundland and Labrador Disability Benefit on August 25, and the Alberta Child and Family Benefit on August 27. The August CCB payment is especially important for families managing back-to-school costs. Payments for CPP, OAS and GIS are handled separately on August 27. Notably, the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (which replaced the GST/HST credit in July) will not be paid in August, the next instalment arrives October 5. The CRA has warned that wildfires may delay mailed cheques in affected areas, but direct deposit payments remain unaffected.
