Starting Jan. 18, Albertans 65 years and older who are not receiving the Alberta Seniors Benefit, as well as eligible parents with children under the age of 18, can apply online through the government portal or in person to receive $600 from the government.
The payments will be received in monthly instalments of $100.
The money is part of the affordability measures announced by Premier Danielle Smith in November.
To be eligible for the payments, a household must have a yearly income below $180,000.
The province will use 2021 tax information to determine household eligibility for the payments.
Parents will receive a total of $600 for each dependent child under 18.
