The Alberta government is offering a payment of $100 to help pay their bills.
Premier Danielle Smith said the payment will be made instead of the province reducing its tax on gasoline at the pumps.
Starting July 1, Albertans can apply for the payments online, although those on supports like Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped will get them automatically.
Nearly 3.4 million adults — with a maximum household income of $225,000 or less — will be eligible.
“We wanted to make sure that it would be a meaningful amount and go to as many people as possible.”
