Canada disability benefit supplement coming soon
The Canadian government is set to distribute an additional $150 to Canadians who are eligible for the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) payments. This supplementary payment of $150 will be issued on September 17, 2026, according to Canada.ca. The one-time payment will be made from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) alongside the regular monthly CDB payments.
The Canada Disability Benefit supports individuals aged 18-64 with disabilities, providing them with financial assistance. To qualify for the CDB, one must first obtain approval for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC), which is designed to lower income tax for eligible individuals and help cover disability-related expenses. A completed Disability Tax Credit Certificate (T2201), obtained from a medical practitioner, is necessary for application.
Canada’s jobs and families minister, Patty Hajdu, expressed that the supplemental payment aims to further support those in need, stating, "This new supplemental payment will help cover the cost of getting the disability tax credit, so more people can access the support they are entitled to."
