CRA pays all of them, on family net income from the base year (as for the Canada Child Benefit).

Child Benefit and nutrition supplement

A monthly amount for each child under 18 that rises with birth order: $157.33 for the first, $166.83 for the second, $179.16 for the third and $192.50 for each one after. Above $20,397 of family income it is reduced by a twelfth of 10.61% of the excess with one child, 21.86% with two, 33.94% with three, and 12.98% more for each further child.[1] While the child benefit pays, each child also gets $150 a month for the 59 months after the month of birth.[2]

Income Supplement and Seniors' Benefit

Paid a quarter at a time with the federal credit. The supplement is $254, plus up to $266 more as family income rises past $15,000 (5.32% of the excess), $69 for a spouse and $231 for each child, less 9% of family income over $40,000.[3] A family with someone 64 or older also gets the Seniors' Benefit, $1,882 less 11.66% of family income over $30,409.[4]

What it does not do

The supplement's disability part and the NL Disability Benefit are not modelled. See income tax in Newfoundland and Labrador.
