Albertans to start getting affordability payments this month, provincial government says | FULL

Some eligible Albertans will begin to automatically receive support payments from the provincial government before the month is over to help them grapple with the increasing cost of living.

Affordability and Utilities Minister Matt Jones was joined by Children’s Services Minister Mickey Amery and Technology and Innovation Minister Nate Glubish at a news conference in Edmonton on Monday morning to announce more details about the payments.

The support payments for eligible Alberta will be $100 per month and given out over a six-month time frame.

Beginning Jan. 18, Alberta seniors 65 or older who are not receiving the Alberta Seniors Benefit and eligible parents with children under 18 can apply online through or in person at various locations across the province to receive the payments.
