Canada Workers Benefit goes out Friday. How much will you get?

Selected working Canadians are due to receive early portions of their benefits from the federal government this week.
On Friday, the ACWB will be visiting individuals and families who have limited financial resources.
Revenue Canada states.
The Canada Pension Plan benefit consists of a base amount and a disability supplement.
The Canada Revenue Agency determines these based on a person's marital status, their province or territory of residence, their income, whether they have dependents and eligibility for the disability tax credit.
Annually, single Canadian individuals are entitled to a maximum basic amount of $1,518, as long as their annual adjusted net income is a maximum of $24,975.
The maximum disability supplement that single individuals are entitled to is $784 provided their income does not exceed $35,098.
The special payments, which are spread out over three installments throughout the year, include half of the annual basic amount and half of the disability benefits. That totals approximately $1,151 for the entire 12-month period.
The Canada Revenue Agency says the total basic amount for the Canada Child Benefit gradually decreases if a person's adjusted net income is more than $24,975 and no payment is made if it exceeds $35,095.
The disability supplement is gradually reduced for individuals earning more than $35,098 in net income, adjusted annually. They won't receive any disability supplement if their net income exceeds $40,325.
Canadian families with an adjusted net income of up to 28,494 dollars can expect a maximum yearly benefit of 2,616 dollars, as well as an additional 784 dollar disability supplement for families.
These extra payments can add up to a maximum of $1,700 for the whole year.
These benefits will differ for people residing in Quebec, Nunavut, and Alberta.
