Frequently asked questions
What government benefits am I eligible for in Canada?
It depends on your income, family, age, province and whether you have a disability. Most people with low or moderate income get the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit, families with children get the Canada Child Benefit, low-income workers get the Canada Workers Benefit, and people 65 and older get Old Age Security. Provinces add their own. The Benefits Finder checks all of these in about 2 minutes.
Do I have to apply for government benefits?
Most are paid automatically once you file your tax return. A few need an application: the Canada Disability Benefit, the Disability Tax Credit, the Canadian Dental Care Plan and the Canada Learning Bond.
Which year's income is used for 2026 benefits?
Payments from July 2026 to June 2027 are based on your 2025 tax return, which is why we ask for your 2025 net income (line 23600).
Is the Benefits Finder private?
Yes. Everything is calculated in your browser. Your answers are never sent to us or anyone else; they're only saved on this device so you can come back to your results.
