When does parenting payment stop in Canada?

There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding when parenting payments end in Canada. Is it solely based on the age of the child, or are other factors involved?

Some friends believe that payments last until the child turns 18, while others suggest it may vary depending on factors like family income and the number of children. Has anyone recently navigated this process? What steps did you take to stay informed about the timeline and any changes in eligibility?

I’d love to hear about your experiences and any tips you might have for managing this transition!

Payments usually stop when the kid turns 18, but there are cases where it can go longer, especially for kids with disabilities. It’s a good idea to check your provincial guidelines too, since they can differ. Staying updated with government announcements helps a lot, so keep an eye on that stuff!

From what I’ve heard, it usually wraps up when the kid hits 18, but things can change if you’re in a unique situation, like having a kid with special needs. I just kept an eye on the official government website for updates; they usually post the latest info there. It can be a bit of a maze, though!
