EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1990

Family allowances increased

FAMILY ALLOWANCES, puid to over 3.7 million
Canadian families on behalf of 6.6 million children,
will increase slightly in the new year.

Minister of National Health and Welfare Perrin
Beatty recently announced that effective this month,
the federal government family allowances, paid mon-
thly for children under age 18, will rise to $33.33 from
$32.74 in most provinces and in the territories.

The increase is based on changes in the Consumer
Price Index, Statistic Canada’s cost-of-living measure,
in excess of three per cent.

Under a provision in the Family Allowance Act, a

provincial government may ask the federal govern
ment to vary the rates payable in that province ac
cording to the age or number of children in a family
or both, providing that the average monthly paymen
in that province equals the federal rate. This optior
has been chosen by Alberta and Quebec.

The refundable Child Tax Credit for the 1989 taxa
tion year will provide up to $565 per child based o:
family income. Also, parents who qualify can clain
an additional $200 on their return for each child age
six and under for whum no child care expenses were
claimed.
