How to Answer the UCCB Question (RC62)
If you see the question: “Did [name] receive Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) in 2025?” — here’s the precise rule to follow:
The Key Trigger: RC62 Slip
If you received an RC62 slip, then:
You must answer “Yes”
And enter the details from that slip
This is true even if you’re unsure about the wording of the question. The presence of an RC62 is what matters.
If You Did NOT Receive RC62
Answer “No”
No further action is needed
Why This Matters
The Universal Child Care Benefit is no longer active, but the question still exists in tax software for completeness and edge cases (like prior-year reporting or adjustments).
Bottom Line
RC62 received → Yes + report it
No RC62 → No and move on
That’s all you need for that specific question.
