Benefits are paid over a 12 month period from July of one year to June of the next year. Benefit payments are recalculated every July based on information from a family's income tax and benefit return from the previous year The CCB does not change the Child Disability Benefit (CDB) or the Ontario Child Benefit (OCB); families that qualify will continue to get the CDB and the OCB as separate amounts that are paid with the CCB
