Notice to the reader
Apply now for the enhanced Universal child care benefit if you have never applied for the Canada child tax benefit (CCTB) or the Universal child care benefit (UCCB) for a child in your care under the age of 18.
If you have previously applied for the CCTB and/or UCCB for a child in your care under the age of 18, then you will automatically receive the enhancements and do not have to re-apply.
