Anyone know how the canada workers benefit works? Does that have to be paid back to the government?

The Canada Workers Benefit (CWB) is a refundable tax credit to help individuals and families who are working and earning a low income.

The CWB has two parts: a basic amount and a disability supplement.

You can claim the CWB when you file your income tax return.

Here is the link from CRA on Canada Workers Benefit
