Which statement accurately describes the CLB grant schedule?

Which statement accurately describes the CLB grant schedule?

• A. $500 in the first year and $100 annually thereafter up to year 15
• B. $100 in the first year and $500 each subsequent year
• C. $250 in the first year and $100 in subsequent years
• D. A one-time grant of $500

Answer: (A)

The CLB grant starts with a $500 payment in the year the child becomes eligible, then provides $100 for each subsequent year for a set period (up to 15 years) until the maximum amount is reached. That pattern is described by the statement of $500 in the first year and $100 annually thereafter through year 15, which aligns with how the CLB is intended to be disbursed. The grant isn’t a small $100 first year, a $250 first year, or a one-time payment, so those other descriptions don’t fit.
