B.C. Family Bonus (BCFB)
This program
provides non-taxable
amounts paid
monthly to help
low- and modest-
income families with
the cost of raising
children under 18
years of age. The
amount is combined
with the Canada

single monthly
payment.
It is calculated based

How do I apply for the B.C. Family Bonus?
There is no need to apply separately. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will
use the information from your Canada child benefits application to determine your
eligibility. If you are eligible, the amount of any payments will be calculated
automatically based on information from your income tax return.
