Benefit payment dates, 2026, and a calendar that updates itself.

The 2027 payment dates are not published yet. When the government publishes them, they appear here and in your calendar automatically.

We do not guess future dates. Every date on this page is one the government has published.

The easiest way is the Subscribe in my calendar button above, on the phone or computer whose calendar you use. If that does not open your calendar, use the steps for your calendar below.

iPhone (Apple Calendar)

1. On your iPhone, tick your benefits above and tap Subscribe in my calendar. Apple says you can subscribe to a calendar by tapping a link to it.
2. Or do it by hand: copy the calendar address above. Open the Calendar app, tap the Calendars button, then tap Add Calendar.
3. Tap Add Subscription Calendar, paste the address, then tap Find.

Android phone or Google Calendar

Google says a calendar like this has to be added from a web browser on a computer. It cannot be added in the Google Calendar app for Android, iPhone or iPad.

1. Copy the calendar address above.
2. On a computer, open Google Calendar in a web browser.
3. On the left, next to Other calendars, click Add other calendars, then From URL.
4. Paste the address, then click Add calendar.

Outlook

1. Copy the calendar address above.
2. Sign in to Outlook.com and select Calendar, then Add calendar.
3. Select Subscribe from web, paste the address, then select Import.

Microsoft says new dates can sometimes take more than 24 hours to appear in Outlook.

Just want the file?

Download once gives you a calendar file with today’s dates. Open it to add the dates. It does not update itself, so you would need to download it again when new dates are published.
