Nunavut benefits

From the All the Numbers wiki · Retirement and benefits

CRA pays them on family net income from the base year (as for the Canada Child Benefit).

Nunavut Child Benefit

$696 a year for each child under 18, less 5% of family income over $22,065 (3% with one child). A parent with shared custody gets half the difference the shared children make. It comes with the CCB each month.[1]

What it does not do

The Territorial Workers' Supplement for working families ended in July 2026, when the territory doubled the child benefit. The Senior Citizen Supplementary Benefit is run by the territory and is not modelled. See income tax in Nunavut.
