It's Fairer! ► The proposed Child Benefit will, if passed by Parliament, go out to over 3 million Canadian families starting in January 1993. ►. The proposed Child Benefit will replace today's patchwork of measures — Family Allowances, Child Tax Credit and Dependent Child Credit — with one monthly payment. ► The proposed Child Benefit will go to those families with children who need it — those with low and modest incomes. What's more, it is based on family income, which is a fairer way of determining the amount of assistance that children actually need. The proposed Child Benefit will include an earned- income supplement to increase support for low- income working families. ► The proposed Child Benefit will increase federal support for children by $2.1 billion over 5 years. For example, a family with one child, earning $20,000, can receive as much as $1,733 per year — an increase of 40%. What's more, it would be tax-free — you wouldn't be taxed on the proposed Child Benefit! ► Once fully in place, the proposed monthly Child Benefit will respond to changing family circumstances, such as the birth of a child. ► The proposed Child Benefit will automatically be sent to you each month. If you file a tax return, there's no need to apply unless you have a change in family circumstances. At tax time, as well, you would find your tax return easier to prepare. ► Watch for information with your March Family Allowances payment or fill out the coupon below and we'll send you more information. It's More Generous! It's More Responsive! It's Easier! It's Up to You! YES I'd likejmore information about the proposed Child Benefit and other programs for children. Name.
