Canadian Dental Care Plan for people 65 years or older
Canada Dental Benefit ends on June 30, 2024
If you received a Canada Dental Benefit payment for the second benefit period, your child must receive dental care by June 30, 2024. Applications are still being accepted until June 30, 2024.
The interim Canada Dental Benefit is intended to help lower dental costs for eligible families earning less than $90,000 per year. Parents and guardians may be eligible if they pay for dental care for a child under 12 years old who does not have access to a private dental insurance plan.
Dental costs fully paid by other programs
If an eligible child's dental costs are fully paid for by another government program with no direct cost to you, those services do not qualify for this benefit. Check your child's eligibility for other programs before you apply.
Depending on your adjusted family net income, a tax-free payment of $260, $390, or $650 is available for each eligible child. You can apply for a maximum of 2 payments per child.
Applications are open until Sunday June 30, 2024 (11:59 pm PT) for:
- dental care received between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024
- one additional payment if you meet the criteria
Benefit payments are administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
