Yukon benefits for individuals and families
Yukon child benefit
This benefit is a non-taxable amount paid monthly to help low- and modest-
income families with the cost of raising children under 18 years of age. This
benefit is combined with the Canada child benefit into one monthly payment.
You do not need to apply for the Yukon child benefit. The Canada Revenue
Agency (CRA) will use the information from your Form RC66, Canada Child
Benefit Application, to determine if you are entitled to receive this
benefit.
File your return
To make sure you get your payments on time, you and your spouse or common-law
partner need to file your 2025 income tax and benefit return(s) by April 30,
2026. The CRA will use the information from your return(s) to calculate the
payments you are entitled to get from this program.
