What does GCCB mean in FORESTRY

To be eligible for GCCB you must be a grandparent providing childcare services to their grandchild and have their expenses reimbursed through approved child care providers in Canada. The Canadian government will also assess your income and assess if you meet any other criteria before approving you for this program.

The amount provided to a grandparent through GCCB will vary based on the number of children in their care, as well as the type of services they provide. Generally, it is estimated that grandparents will receive up to 0 per day per child depending on how many children they are caring for at once and how many hours they spend with each child.

To apply for GCCB benefits, you will need to fill out an application form with your personal information and send it in along with proof of income or other supporting documents proving that you meet the eligibility requirements. Detailed instructions can be found on Canada's official website about Government-Funded Child Care Benefits.

Through the Grandparent Child Care Benefit (GCCB), costs related to providing general childcare such as meals, transportation, supplies, toys, and playtime activities may be covered by this program. However, specific services such as tutoring or educational programming may not be covered by this benefit.

Generally speaking, applications must be submitted within three months of when the grandparent began providing care to their grandchildren in order to be eligible for benefit payments. Each year's actual application period will vary depending on when it is announced by Canada's Ministry of Families.
