| Description | The Ontario Child Care Supplement for Working Families (OCCS) is a tax-free monthly payment to help with the costs of raising children under the age of seven, born prior to July 1, 2009. The program benefits low-to-middle income single or two-parent families, families with one stay-at-home parent, or families with one or both parents studying or in training. A family does not have to have a child in daycare to apply for the supplement. With the introduction of the Ontario Child Benefit (OCB) payments in July 2008, OCCS payments are reduced by the amount of the OCB received for each child under the age of seven, born prior to July 1, 2009. Families whose OCCS monthly entitlement exceeds their monthly OCB payment will continue to receive a supplementary OCCS payment. This payment will continue until the dependent child turns seven, or the recipient is no longer entitled to receive the OCCS. The OCB continues until the child reaches 18 years of age. Children born on, or after July 1, 2009, are not be eligible for OCCS payments. | |||
