The Nova Scotia Child Benefit is going up, as of Friday.
It’s an increase of at least $350 over last year, as eligible families can now receive over $1,200 for each child annually.
In a release, Community Services Minister Karla McFarlane says this will help families who need it most.
Eligible families must make an annual net income below $34,000 to qualify.
The amount you get is based on your taxes from the previous year.
