It is for this reason that the Government of Canada is continuing to ensure that the needs of persons with disabilities are supported.

Key Points: 
  • It is for this reason that the Government of Canada is continuing to ensure that the needs of persons with disabilities are supported.
  • Today, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, Carla Qualtrough, announced that the deadline to apply for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) to receive the one-time payment has been extended from September 25, 2020, to December 31, 2020.
  • An extension of the deadline will give clients more time to submit their applications, and the Government of Canada time to issue decisions regarding eligibility.
  • We have extended the deadline to apply for the Disability Tax Credit so that more Canadians with disabilities can access the benefit and get the financial support they need.
