You could be eligible to get this one-time $150 payment from the federal government
Eligible recipients will get the payment automatically, while supplemental amounts will go to those with approved Disability Tax Credit certificates.
- On Thursday, the federal government announced a one-time $150 payment for Canada Disability Benefit recipients starting Sept. 17 to offset Disability Tax Credit application costs, requiring no separate application.
- Individuals who became eligible between July 2025 and July 2026 will receive the payment on Sept. 17, with supplemental payments extending to past recipients for every approved DTC certificate.
- Jobs and Families Minister Patty Hajdu stated the measure aims to "break down barriers" so more Canadians can access disability support, while those becoming eligible after July 2027 will receive disbursement in early 2027.
- CTV News reported that recipients are watching the Sept. 17 disbursement closely, following August 2025 system delays that left some applicants without scheduled payments.
- Advocates have criticized the program for lengthy application times and tardy payment schedules since its launch last year, noting that applying for the DTC remains a significant barrier to support.
