Who can I contact for help with the 2027 BC funding changes?

For questions about the new Disability Benefit, email cfd.disabilitybenefit@gov.bc.ca. For Autism Funding questions, call the Autism Funding team at 1-877-777-3530.

The contacts the Government of BC lists:

• BC Children and Youth Disability Benefit team: cfd.disabilitybenefit@gov.bc.ca, for questions about service requests and authorizations, payments and reimbursements, processing times and the benefit in general.

• Autism Funding team: 1-877-777-3530 (toll-free) or MCF.AutismFundingUnit@gov.bc.ca, for help with Autism Funding paperwork and processes.

• Provincial Access, Information & Resource Services (PAIRS): 1-844-878-4700 or PAIRS.Connect@gov.bc.ca, weekdays 8:30am to 4:30pm, for information about using funding, building a support team and planning ahead.

• Children and Youth with Support Needs (CYSN), general questions about the changes: mcf.childrenyouthsupportneeds@gov.bc.ca.

The province says the ministry will contact each family with information to support their transition.

For the Disability Tax Credit itself, the Canada Revenue Agency handles applications.

If English is not your first language: PAIRS offers help in English, Chinese, Punjabi and Tagalog, subject to availability, and can arrange interpretation in more than 50 languages.

These contacts are from the Government of BC's published pages and guide, checked in October 2026.

KidStart is also listening. Our anonymous survey asks BC parents seven questions about their funding, what they expect to change and what would help, including the single question they most want answered. We will publish the anonymous totals once enough families have responded that nobody can be identified.
