How to use the Benefit Payment Date Finder
- Choose your benefit from the list: CPP, OAS (including GIS), Canada Disability Benefit, veteran disability pension, Canada child benefit, GST/HST credit / Groceries and Essentials Benefit, ACWB, Ontario trillium benefit, Alberta child and family benefit or the Newfoundland and Labrador disability benefit.
- Leave the reference date as today, or change it to see which payment comes next after another day.
- Read the next payment date at the top of the result, the number of days until it and the full list of remaining 2026 dates.
- If no 2026 dates are left, the finder tells you the next dates are not published yet. It never guesses future dates.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you choose is stored or sent anywhere, and the tool does not show payment amounts.
How the finder picks your next payment date
The method is a simple lookup. For the benefit you choose, the finder takes the list of 2026 payment dates published by Service Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency, then returns the first date that falls on or after your reference date. “Days until” is the number of calendar days between the two dates, so a payment due on your reference date shows as “Today”. Every later 2026 date is listed below the headline.
| Reference date | Benefit | Next payment | Days until |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 27, 2026 | CPP | October 28, 2026 | 1 |
| October 27, 2026 | Canada child benefit | November 20, 2026 | 24 |
| October 27, 2026 | Ontario trillium benefit | November 10, 2026 | 14 |
| November 20, 2026 | Canada child benefit | November 20, 2026 | Today |
| December 23, 2026 | CPP | Not published yet | — |
Payments are issued on the dates listed, but may take a few days to arrive. The Government of Canada calendar asks you to wait 5 to 10 business days before contacting the program if a payment is missing.
CPP payment schedule, OAS payment dates and GST payment dates
CPP payment schedule and calendar. Canada Pension Plan payments arrive once a month, usually near the end of the month. For 2026 the CPP pension payment dates are January 28, February 25, March 27, April 28, May 27, June 26, July 29, August 27, September 25, October 28, November 26 and December 22. The December date is earlier than usual, so plan holiday spending around December 22.
CPP deposit dates. If you get CPP by direct deposit, the money is issued to your bank account on the scheduled date. If you get a cheque, it can take longer to reach you. You can sign up for or update direct deposit through the Government of Canada direct deposit page listed in the sources below.
OAS payment dates. Old Age Security, together with the Guaranteed Income Supplement, the Allowance and the Allowance for the Survivor, is paid on the same 2026 dates as CPP. Many seniors who receive both pensions see the two deposits on the same day.
GST payment dates. The GST/HST credit was paid on January 5 and April 2, 2026. From July 2026 the CRA pays it as the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (formerly the GST/HST credit), on July 3 and October 5, 2026. The finder shows all four dates under one choice. Dates after October 5, 2026 have not been published yet.

Methodology & sources
Dates for CPP, OAS/GIS, the Canada Disability Benefit and the veteran disability pension come from the Government of Canada benefit payment dates calendar. Dates for the CCB, GST/HST credit / Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit, ACWB, OTB, ACFB and NLDB come from the CRA payment dates page. Every 2026 date was re-checked against both pages on October 27, 2026. Dates for 2027 are not published yet, so the finder does not show or estimate them.
