As June 2025 approaches, a new round of government benefit payments is being issued to eligible Canadians via Service Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
These payments are designed to provide financial relief to families and individuals, particularly during a time of rising living costs. Some programs will wrap up their benefit year this month, while others are setting the stage for payment increases in July 2025.
Whether it’s support for child care, energy bills, rent, or senior assistance, here’s a complete breakdown of federal benefits arriving this June, plus how much you could get and when.
1. Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB)
The Ontario Trillium Benefit supports low- and moderate-income Ontarians by combining three separate credits into one monthly payment:

June 2025 marks the final payment based on your 2023 tax return. You must have filed your return and qualified for at least one of the credits to receive payment.
