The federal government has proposed a one-time $150 supplemental payment to help recipients of the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) offset certification costs.
Eligible people can receive up to $2,400 a year through the CDB. The $150 payment will be retroactive to the CDB's launch in July.
Recipients can expect to receive the payment before the end of the 2026-27 fiscal year.
The budget also plans to exempt the CDB from being treated as income under the Income Tax Act.
