The province is extending the provincial temporary crisis supplement. This applies to people on income or disability assistance and low-income seniors during the pandemic.
However, this only applies to people that are not receiving other government benefits such as the Canada Emergency Response Benefit. This supplement will be extended for another four months.
No additional action will be required for anyone. The temporary $300 crisis supplement will continue to be automatically applied to cheques distributed Sept. 23, Oct. 21, Nov. 18 and Dec. 16. As well, the federal government recently announced a one-time $600 payment to recipients of federal disability benefits.
