Alberta Child and family benefits
Beginning on July 1, 2020, the Alberta Child Benefit (ACB) and the Alberta Family Employment Tax Credit (AFETC) are being consolidated into a single program, the new Alberta Child and Family Benefit (ACFB), with the first payment issued in August 2020. The new ACFB will provide more benefits to lower-income families while streamlining administration. Final payments for the ACB and AFETC programs have already been issued, although the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will continue to issue retroactive payments for previous benefit years, if applicable. Households who previously received the AFETC will no longer receive a payment in July, as those that qualify will now receive one combined quarterly ACFB benefit payment starting in August.
