Canadians can apply for the Canada Disability Benefit on June
First payments to be issued in July GATINEAU, QC, June 13, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, the Minister of Jobs and Families and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario, the Honourable Patty Hajdu, announced that persons with disabilities will be able to apply for the new Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) as of June 20, 2025. First payments will begin in July 2025 for applications received and approved by June 30, 2025. Canadians will be able to apply through barrier-free, accessible ways: online, in person at a Service Canada office, or by phone. Persons with disabilities between the ages of 18 and 64 can apply for the benefit if they have qualified for the disability tax credit (DTC) and meet the benefit's other eligibility requirements, including having filed their 2024 income tax return with the Canada Revenue Agency. For those who have a spouse or common-law partner, their partner must also have filed their 2024 income tax return to be eligible. The federal government will send letters to eligible Canadians inviting them to apply. To support individuals with the application process, a number of community-based organizations across Canada will provide accessible, individualized navigation services to disability programs and benefits, including the DTC and CDB. Applicants can also now use the newly launched benefit estimator tool to find out how much they may qualify to receive each month. This new benefit reflects the federal government's commitment to improving financial security for Canadians living with disabilities. Quotes "With the Canada Disability Benefit application set to open on June 20, financial support will be delivered to working-age, low-income persons with disabilities starting next month. I want to extend my gratitude to disability advocates across the country who have worked tirelessly to help shape this historic benefit." – The Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario "The Canada Disability Benefit is a critical step forward in our work to improve financial security for working age persons with disabilities. Too many Canadians continue to face barriers that limit their full participation in our society and economy. This benefit is about dignity, justice, and creating a more inclusive Canada — one where everyone has the chance to thrive." – Leslie Church, Parliamentary Secretary to the Secretaries of State for Labour, for Seniors, and for Children and Youth, and to the Minister of Jobs and Families (Persons with Disabilities) Quick facts The CDB is a cornerstone of the Government of Canada's Disability Inclusion Action Plan. With the first payments in July, the Canada Disability Benefit is being enshrined as part of Canada's social safety net. Budget 2024 committed to an investment of $6.1 billion over six years beginning in 2024-25, and $1.4 billion ongoing for the CDB, to provide a maximum of $2,400 per year to low-income persons with disabilities between the ages of 18 and 64. It is estimated that this benefit will increase the financial security of over 600,000 low-income persons with disabilities. In the spirit of "Nothing Without Us," the Government of Canada engaged with over 8,000 Canadians with disabilities, disability stakeholders, Indigenous governments and organizations, and provincial and territorial governments in the development of the benefit and will continue to seek their input for future improvements. Provinces and territories play a critical role in providing supports and services to Canadians with disabilities, and the government will continue to engage with them to understand how the CDB may interact with existing provincial and territorial income-tested programs, including disability programs and social assistance.

Canadian Securities Administrators encourage Canadians to look out for deceptive social media investment scams Français
CALGARY, AB, June 13, 2025 /CNW/ - In recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) on June 15, 2025, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) is encouraging Canadians to connect with older adults in their lives to talk about the growing trend of artificial intelligence (AI) and social media investment scams targeting seniors. "Older Canadians are often the target of financial scams and, more recently, fraudsters have been using AI to make the ads appear legitimate," said Stan Magidson, Chair and CEO of the Alberta Securities Commission and Chair of the CSA. "By asking questions and starting important conversations about the warning signs of scams, we can help support the financial wellbeing of the seniors in our lives." Scams leverage AI to create seemingly credible ads and online profiles Scam artists commonly target older Canadians with fake investment opportunities online. Taking advantage of advertising channels through social media platforms, and the openness of people to new relationships fostered through dating or friendship apps, fraudsters can easily and quickly create online personas to deceive and manipulate potential victims with realistic-looking investment opportunities. The CSA urges older Canadians and their loved ones to remember the following tips: Avoid investment opportunities promoted online, especially those seemingly endorsed by celebrities or political figures or those that advertise lucrative, easy or quick returns. Imagery, video and voices can be easily generated with AI to look and sound real. Be cautious of online investing groups claiming to be run by investment professionals. Fraudsters will commonly direct potential victims to move their communications to chat groups created on WhatsApp, Telegram and Discord to keep conversations private and harder to trace. Be mindful of any new online connection, acquaintance or perceived love interest who asks probing questions about your finances or plays off your anxieties or fears when offering you an unrequested investment opportunity. All investment firms and their advisors in Canada are required to ask each of their clients to name a Trusted Contact Person (TCP). Sharing the name of someone you consider to be a trusted contact can help protect your accounts and give you peace of mind. Any individual or firm offering you investments needs to be registered with provincial or territorial securities regulators. You can check registration at but remember that images, voice calls and video meetings can be AI manipulated. It is strongly advised that you do not send money to anyone you have not met in person or whose identity you cannot confidently validate. Foster awareness and digital literacy AI continues to evolve rapidly, and so do the scams that use this technology. To safeguard your financial accounts and empower yourself and those you care for, the CSA recommends taking time to learn how AI is being used across the digital landscape for investing purposes. The CSA has a number of investor tools and resources available online to help Canadians become more informed investors. Investors can follow @CSA_News on X (formerly Twitter), @ on Facebook and subscribe to the CSA's Investor Alerts. Suspect you or someone you know is a victim of an investment scam? If you feel like you or someone you know has been approached or is a victim of fraudulent investment, contact your local securities regulator. The CSA, the council of the securities regulators of Canada's provinces and territories, co-ordinates and harmonizes regulation for the Canadian capital markets.
