B.C. residents will receive payments for everyday expenses
They won't even need to apply for it.
As early as April, many B.C. families will receive another payment under a special BC Affordability Credit assistance program linked to rising inflation and aimed at reducing the cost of living in the province.
They won't even need to file any statements: the size of a one-time payment aimed at reducing household expenses is based on the net income and family size. All that is needed is to file an income tax return on time.
According to a recent press release, 85% of B.C. residents will automatically receive full or partial money assistance through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in April, just as it already did in January.
Low— and middle-income provincial residents qualify for the program. Provincial adults will receive an additional $164 to their account, $41 for one child and $410 for a family with two children.
The payment is part of a package to lower the cost of living in B.C. and is intended to help residents of the province pay for rising rents, for example.
