Table 3: Details on Transfer Payment Programs
1) Name of Transfer Payment Program: Children’s Special Allowance Payments (CSA) (Statutory)
|
2) Start Date: Aug. 28, 1995 *
|
|
4) Description: Tax-free monthly payments made to agencies and foster parents who are licensed by provincial or federal governments to provide for the care and education of children under the age of 18 who physically reside in Canada and who are not in the care of their parents. CSA payments are equivalent to Canada Child Tax Benefit payments. CSA payments are governed by the Children’s Special Allowances Act which provides that this allowance be paid out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund.
|
5) Strategic Outcome: the Canada Revenue Agency’s second strategic outcome states that “eligible families and individuals receive timely and correct benefit payments”. In this context, the specific objective of the CSA is to ensure that children in
care receive their rightful share of entitlements. According to the CSA Act, the CSA payments “shall be applied exclusively toward the care, maintenance, education, training or advancement of the child in respect of whom it is
paid.”
|
6) Expected result: Monthly payments issued on schedule.
