$2,813 CRA Advanced Canada Workers Benefit September 2025 – Check Your Payment Date
Waiting for your Advanced Canada Workers Benefit (ACWB) this fall? Here’s the short answer first: there is no ACWB deposit in September 2025.
The next instalment is scheduled for Friday, October 10, 2025.
The ACWB is an advance on your Canada Workers Benefit (CWB) and is paid automatically if you qualify—no separate application needed.
This guide explains who qualifies, how much you could get (up to $2,813 for families), and how to check your payment date quickly.
What Is ACWB And Who Qualifies
The ACWB is an automatic advance of the CWB, designed to support low-income workers during the year rather than making you wait until tax time. You may be eligible if you:
- Earn employment or self-employment income within your province/territory’s CWB income limits
- File your tax return and claim the CWB
- Meet residency requirements, and (if applicable) qualify for the Disability Tax Credit to receive the disability supplement
Is There A September 2025 Payment?
No. Some posts can be confusing, but the 2025 ACWB schedule pays three times: January 10, 2025; July 11, 2025; and October 10, 2025.
If you expected a September payment, your fall deposit should arrive on October 10, 2025 (or the previous business day if banking rules apply).
How Much You Could Get In 2025
For 2025, widely referenced indexation puts the basic maximum around $1,633 for singles and $2,813 for families (before any disability supplement).
Your actual amount depends on your net income, family status, province/territory, and disability eligibility.
Remember, ACWB pays up to 50% of your calculated CWB (and 50% of the disability supplement, if you qualify) spread across the three instalments.
