Does CCB affect social assistance?

[YousifBreesam]

Hello,

My mother has been receiving social assistance (welfare), and JUST recently, she started receiving Canada Child Benefit (CCB), will that affect the amount she usually receives from assistance? Or CCB has no affect?

It shouldn't since CCB payments qualify as non-taxable income.
