Under 7 Supplement

Effective July 2006, for the 2005 base year, the Canada Child Tax Benefit under 7 supplement ($20.75 per month) will cease to be paid for all children under the age of 6 years because it is being replaced by the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) ($100 per month). However, children who are 6 years old between July 2006 and June 2007 will continue to receive the Canada Child Tax Benefit under 7 supplement until the month of their seventh birthday or June 2007, whichever comes first. Effective July 2007, the Canada Child Tax Benefit under 7 supplement will cease to exist and will no longer be paid.

For example, if a child turns 6 in January 2007, they will receive the UCCB for the months of July 2006 to January 2007. They will then receive the under 7 supplement for the months of February 2007 to June 2007. As of July 2007, the under 7 supplement will cease to exist for all children.
