The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) amounts were increased in July after an annual rework of the numbers, and many of those payments will be seen this week.
This rework led to an increase in the CCB earlier this, year meaning eligible families could be pocketing more.
These payments go towards Canadian residents with kids under 18 at home and vary a bit with the child's age.
Parents could receive a maximum payment of $648.91 for each child under the age of six years, and For every child aged six to 17 years, the maximum CCB payment will be $547.50, a 4.7 percent increase from last year for both.
The benefits come at a reasonable time, as many parents are likely gearing their children up for the school year, which is increasingly costly.
Following this week's payout, the payments are expected again on Sept. 20, Oct. 18, Nov. 20 and Dec. 13.
