$1469 Alberta Child and Family Benefit 2025 – Dates, Eligibility and Amount

Raising children can be expensive, especially for low- and middle-income families. To ease this financial burden, the Canadian Government offers the $1469 Alberta Child and Family Benefit (ACFB) 2025, a tax-free payment managed by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

This benefit is designed to help Alberta parents with children under 18 by providing annual financial support in four equal installments.

Benefit

The ACFB provides support in two parts — a base component and a working component. Families can qualify for one or both, depending on their net household income and employment earnings.

The base component ensures all eligible low-income families receive financial help, while the working component offers additional support for parents who are employed.

For 2025, the maximum benefit is $1469 for one child and increases with additional children. Families with higher net incomes may see reduced payments, but the program ensures those most in need receive the most assistance.

Criteria

Not everyone in Alberta automatically qualifies for ACFB. The CRA has set specific eligibility rules:
