The Alberta Child and Family Benefit (ACFB) is a program administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on behalf of the government of Alberta. The ACFB was introduced to assist lower-income and middle-income families with children under 18. Eligible families can receive direct financial assistance on a quarterly basis. 

The ACFB was introduced in July 2020, consolidating the Alberta Child Benefit and the Alberta Family Employment Tax Credit into a single program. The ACFB aims to provide families with a better quality of life for their children and support their well-being. (See similar programs in other provinces and territories.)

The ACFB is indexed to inflation, so the amounts increase every year. The ACFB benefit period runs from July of one year to June of the following year.

The CRA issues ACFB payments on a quarterly basis, by direct deposit or cheque. The payment dates this year are:
