The published 2026 dates this checker uses
These are the dates on the official pages as read on November 5, 2026. The checker picks the first date on or after today; once the last published date passes, it says the next date is not yet published instead of guessing one.

|---|---|

OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement are paid together as one payment, on the same dates as CPP. The CPP disability benefit follows the same CPP payment schedule. The Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit is the renamed GST/HST credit; its last published date was October 5, 2026, and no later date was on the Canada Revenue Agency page at the November 5, 2026 check.

Sources and how each date was checked
Sources: Canada Revenue Agency, "Benefit payment dates" — the Canada Child Benefit dates (November 20 and December 11, 2026) and the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit dates (last published October 5, 2026), read in full on November 5, 2026; the page lists 2026 dates only and no 2027 dates. Service Canada, "Old Age Security pension" — the next shared CPP and OAS payment date (November 26, 2026) and the 2026 CPP and OAS payment-dates calendar, read on November 5, 2026; only a 2026 calendar is linked, no 2027 schedule. Service Canada, "CPP disability benefit — receiving your benefits" — the 2026 payment date schedule (November 26 and December 22, 2026), read on November 5, 2026; only a 2026 schedule is on the page. This page is rechecked when the 2027 dates are published, and any new date ships as a dated correction, never a silent edit.
