總理宣佈對加拿大兒童福利金（CCB）實行年度上調

 

2020年5月16日  安大略渥太華總理辦公室 - 自從加拿大兒童福利金（Canada Child Benefit ，CCB）四年前推出以來，這一計劃已幫助九成的加拿大家庭獲得更多收入，並在減少全國兒童貧困方面發揮了關鍵作用。現在，勤奮工作、中產的家庭比以往任何時候都更期待這一補助，以幫助他們應付撫養孩子的額外費用。

賈斯廷·特魯多總理今天宣佈，加拿大兒童福利金（CCB）將於7月再次上調，以幫助民眾家庭應對上漲的生活和撫養子女的費用。

這一新增的免稅支持，將幫助民眾家庭支付諸如食物、衣服、以及家庭共同活動等的費用。此項上調將在2020-21受益年度實施，每名6歲以下兒童的最高福利金將提升至$6,765元，每個6至17歲兒童福利金將提升至$5,708。

此項上調，是總理早前宣佈相關新措施的又一次行動。本月初，總理宣佈對加拿大兒童福利金（CCB）增加一次性特別付款，以幫助民眾家庭應對COVID-19疫情帶來的更大壓力。在2020年5月20日，在目前受領CCB之家庭的5月份供款中，這項特殊措施將為他們增加每個孩子300元的收入，在全國範圍內提供將近20億元的進一步支持，幫助面臨當前挑戰時期的民眾家庭。

 

引述

加拿大總理賈斯廷·特魯多(Justin Trudeau)閣下：「撫養孩子的費用很昂貴。因此，我們創建了加拿大兒童福利金（CCB），以幫助父母們支付自己家庭所需的費用。無論是用於食品日常物資、新衣服還是家庭活動，這一額外的支持都將讓他們的生計輕鬆一些，因為他們正在應付日常生活開支以及COVID-19疫情帶來的額外挑戰。」

 

家庭、兒童及社會發展部長胡森（Ahmed Hussen）閣下：「我們將更多的錢投入加拿大民眾家庭的口袋里，以幫助他們應對COVID-19疫情的影響和撫養子女的費用。 增加CCB，彰顯聯邦政府致力於為民眾家庭提供持續支持，並顯示出我們高度重視投資於最需要幫助的人——我們的孩子們。」

 

事實簡要

•   2016年，加拿大聯邦政府推出了CCB，這是一種更簡單、免稅、更寬厚的兒童福利，更適合最需要的人。

•        2020-21受益年度的付款示例：

Prime Minister announces annual increase to the Canada Child Benefit

 

May 16, 2020                                    Ottawa, Ontario                      Prime Minister’s Office

 

Since it was introduced four years ago, the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) has helped put more money in the pockets of 9 out of 10 Canadian families, and played a key role in reducing child poverty across the country. Now, more than ever, hard-working, middle-class families are counting on this benefit to help them keep up with the added expenses of raising children.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced that the CCB will be increased once again in July, to help families keep up with the costs of living and raising their children.

This additional tax-free support will help families pay for things such as food, clothes, and activities they can do together at home. The increase will be in place for the 2020-21 benefit year, and will raise the maximum benefit to $6,765 per child under age 6, and $5,708 per child aged 6 through 17.

This increase is in addition to the one-time special CCB payment announced by the Prime Minister earlier this month, to help families deal with the added pressures of COVID-19. On May 20, 2020, this special measure will give families currently receiving the CCB an additional $300 per child with their May payment, and deliver almost $2 billion in extra support across the country to help families during this challenging period.

Quotes

“Raising children is expensive. That’s why we created the Canada Child Benefit, to help parents pay for what their families need. Whether it’s used for groceries, new clothes, or at home activities, this extra support will make things easier on them as they deal with regular everyday expenses and the extra challenges caused by COVID-19.”

The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

“We are putting more money in the pockets of Canadian families to help deal with the impacts of COVID-19 and the cost of raising their children. This increase to the CCB shows the Government’s commitment to ongoing support for families and the high value we put on investing in those who really need it most – our children.”

The Hon. Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development
