Eligibility for CCR
The CCR assists families with the costs of approved child care. It is paid in addition to Child Care Benefit (CCB), and covers 50% of a customer's out-of-pocket child care expenses for approved care, up to an Annual limit per child.
Out-of-pocket costs have been defined as the total fees for approved child care, less actual CCB entitlement (including Special CCB and JET Child Care fee assistance (JETCCFA) entitlement where applicable). To be eligible for the rebate, the customer must be eligible for CCB for approved child care (as reduced fees or a lump sum) and meet the rebate work/training/study requirements.
