Alberta child and family benefit
The Alberta child and family benefit (ACFB) is a tax-free amount paid to families that have children under 18 years of age.
For July 2026 to June 2027, you may be entitled to receive the following amounts:
- $1,529 ($127.41 per month) for the first child
- $764 ($63.66 per month) for the second child
- $764 ($63.66 per month) for the third child
- $764 ($63.66 per month) for the fourth child
The benefit is reduced as family income exceeds $28,116. If your adjusted family net income is between $28,116 and $47,115, you may receive a partial benefit.
In addition, families with working income of more than $2,760 may be entitled to receive the working income component of:
- $782 ($65.16 per month) for the first child
- $712 ($59.33 per month) for the second child
- $426 ($35.50 per month) for the third child
- $141 ($11.75 per month) for the fourth child
The amount is reduced if your adjusted family net income is more than $47,115.
ACFB payments are made separately from the CCB payments and issued in August, November, February and May.
This program is fully funded by the Alberta provincial government.
