Albertans are signing up for the provincial government’s $100 affordability rebates after applications open, with both outlets reporting that more than 100,000 people have already enrolled. Global News puts the figure at more than 106,000 sign-ups, while the Winnipeg Free Press reports “more than 100,000.”
Eligibility is based on household income. The rebates are available to people with household incomes of $225,000 or less, according to Global News. Applicants have until Sept. 30 to complete their sign-up to receive the cheques.
The rebates are described as affordability relief cheques provided by the Alberta government. The sources both focus on the rollout status—how many Albertans have signed up so far and the application deadline—rather than detailing payment timing beyond the sign-up period or providing additional conditions.
