CDSGs and CDSBs – Assistance from the Government of Canada
Canada Disability Savings Grant (CDSG)
Contributions to an RDSP may qualify for a CDSG of up to $3,500 per year.
CDSGs are greater for families in lower- and middle-income categories. When annual family net income is less than $97,069 the grant will be:
- $3 for every $1 contributed on the first $500
- $2 for every $1 contributed on the next $1,000
When annual family net income is over $97,069 the grant will be:
- $1 for every $1 contributed up to $1,000
The CDSG has a lifetime maximum limit of $70,000 per beneficiary and the grant is no longer available after December 31 of the year the beneficiary turns 49.
Canada Disability Savings Bond (CDSB)
Lower-income families may be eligible for a CDSB. When annual family net income is $31,711 or less, the bond will be $1,000 per year without the necessity of any contribution. When annual family net income exceeds $31,711 but is less than $48,535, the bond will be pro-rated to receive a portion of $1,000 per year and will be based on a pre-determined formula. The CDSB has a lifetime maximum limit of $20,000 per beneficiary and the bond is no longer available after December 31 of the year the beneficiary turns 49.
Income amounts shown are for 2020.
Annual family net income levels will be indexed annually by the Canada Revenue Agency.
