aPrograms with no available data are not listed.

bFigures for 2003-2004 differ from those reported in The National Child Benefit Report: 2005 due to data revisions.

cThe OCCS is an application-based program. Benefits are based on the previous year's tax return, and families have three years to file their tax return. After filing their tax return, families are given 18 months to return their OCCS application. Historically, it has taken about three years after the close of a given OCCS benefit year to achieve full take-up for that benefit year.
