The federal government is distributing a one-time payment of $150 to individuals who qualify for the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB). This financial assistance aims to help recipients manage some of the expenses related to the Disability Tax Credit. A spokesperson for Employment and Social Development Canada confirmed that this payment is supplemental, specifically intended for eligible and entitled CDB recipients. According to multiple reports, the payment will be available to those who meet the criteria, but it cannot be applied for independently; recipients are automatically considered based on their CDB eligibility. This initiative represents an effort from the government to provide additional support to individuals navigating the financial challenges associated with disabilities in Canada.
