Canadians who are eligible for the Advanced Canada Workers Benefit (ACWB) will get larger payments from the government starting this week. The ACWB is an advanced payment of the Canada Workers Benefit (CWB), a refundable tax credit that eligible individuals can claim on their tax return. July marks the start of the new benefit year, and the ACWB payment has increased by 2.7 per cent due to indexation. The maximum basic and disability CWB payment will vary for residents of Quebec, Nunavut, and Alberta. You can use the child and family benefits calculator to estimate your advanced payment amount.
