      Who is eligible
      In most cases, you will not need to apply for the CGEB. Only new residents of Canada may need to apply using Form RC151.

      The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will determine your eligibility automatically when you file your tax return. The CGEB will have the same eligibility criteria as the GST/HST credit.

      How much will you get?

      Qualifying Canadians will receive a payment based on their familial status.

      Single Canadians and single-parent families will get a maximum payout of:

      $267 with no children
      $441 with one child
      $533 with two children
      $625 with three children
      $717 with four children
      Married or common-law individuals will get a maximum payment of:

      $349 with no children
      $441 with one child
      $533 with two children
      $625 with three children
      $717 with four children
      The one-time payment is in addition to the overall quarterly benefit amount.

      Combined, a family of four could receive up to $1,890 in 2026, and a single person could receive up to $950 in 2026, including the top-up, according to the CRA.

      The people who created the problem get credit for handing out a couple hundred bucks to „alleviate“ it and people eat it all up, pun intended.

      “We’ve made life unaffordable. Here is some of the money we’ve taken from you back. “

    8. ProofByVerbosity on

      I hate these bullshit cheap bribes which add to inflation and just give taxpayer money back to taxpayers like its some magical gift. I dont care what party does it.

    9. PlatypusMaximum3348 on

      Unfortunately it will follow the gst credit requirements, many people will not qualify.

    10. bristow84 on

      Oh joy another “benefit” I don’t qualify for because I make over $56,000 a year. Absolute joke.

    12. Moist_Candle_2721 on

      I didn’t realize nearly 35% of Canadians actually meet this income threshold. That’s pretty sad.

    13. GneissCleavage88 on

      How about instead of giving the grocery corporations government money we do the reasonable thing and punish them for price gouging and enforce packaging laws and close all the shady loopholes corporate grocery stores use to milk people of their money.

    15. reluctantbookeeper on

      No. Only some Canadians will get it. The rest of us will pay for it even though we can’t afford groceries either.

    16. elvchi_deer on

      Wow two people w/o kids, on minimum wage don’t qualify. Awesome!

      Edit: whoops, thresholds are actually for net income. So minimum wage couple qualifies in some provinces.

    18. Vance_V_Vandervan on

      I guess he realized people were taking him seriously when he said what he did about grocery prices.

      But as a master economic mind shouldn’t he also realize the downsides of printing money to subsidize food costs?

    19. Old-Introduction-337 on

      Yeah, nothing like getting to the root cause or even looking into the possibility of a root cause. Throw money at them.

    20. richarm87 on

      A lot of whiners here.
      I do well enough now where I won’t benefit from this but I grew up with a single mom with 3 boys. Living below the poverty line. If this helps that family a little now. That’s good.

      Now instead of this should they just raise the floor of income when income taxes start to get removed from your paycheque. .

      But instead of whoa is Me. It should be how could this be done better.

    21. EnvironmentBright697 on

      This is giving me Trudeau government vibes. I thought things would be different with the economic genius in charge.

    22. Ok-Yogurt-42 on

      I’m reminded of Trudeau’s moronic „We’ll take on debt so you don’t have to“ statement.

    23. potatojesusgiggles on

      I hate these. They don’t solve the problem and contribute to inflation.

    24. itguycody on

      We shouldn’t be surprised. The party that brings all these temporary benefits paid for by the majority just received a majority government. More to come until they are voted out.

    25. idgafpersonally on

      Siiiigh maybe one day I’ll actually qualify for these. I’m always right over the threshold and I end up having to foot the tax bill for all the clowns who sit around all day getting high and making posts on Facebook complaining about the government that ironically provides them the means to keep living their terrible lives.

    27. Rint3ah on

      Wait, so is the idea to continue redistributing middle class taxes to the lower class, essentially weakening the middle class — and so in effect, you keep the upper class as is while pushing the middle class down to keep the lower class on life support? And taxes is just one of many ways I imagine this process persists.

    29. Narrow-Map5805 on

      How about we actually figure out the cause and address that directly?

      Where is the extra money going? Are farmers making more? Are processing plants making more? Warehousing? Transportation? Retail?

      Somebody is pocketing this money. How hard is it to figure out who it is?

    30. stonerbobo on

      Such a waste of money, meanwhile the grocers were caught overcharging for meat again and all our grocery prices are insanely inflated compared to any other country. Fixing the cheating and oligopolization in the grocery business would save everyone a hell of a lot more money and it wouldn’t be coming out of our own wallets.

    34. Wolfman-101 on

      Just like all the years before with Trudeau, this does absolutely nothing and just puts us more in debt. Making the inflation problem even worse

    36. SomeDumRedditor on

      What more should anyone expect from a neolib corporate banker?

      Of course the answer is performative handouts that don’t fix the underlying issues or impact capital’s bottom line.

      Mr. Banker has no intention of changing the grocery landscape in this country for the same reasons he has no intention of reforming the TFW/IMP programs and forced RTO on federal workers.

      Carney is a Friedman-Reaganite “”free market”” believer. All he’s here to do is get us back to the status-quo of squeezing average Canadians dry. If you make under $300k/yr Carney couldn’t give a damn about you.

    38. MacKay2112 on

      I would rather the federal government hold the grocery industry accountable for price gouging, but they never will.

    40. BUROCRAT77 on

      I didn’t work for 7 months last year due to cancer and make less than the national average. I still don’t qualify for this

    41. 1baby2cats on

      Didn’t Carney criticize Trudeau for his fiscal policies similar to this?

    42. Ikea_desklamp on

      useless political ploy. waste of government funds. fix the structural problems.

    43. FulcrumYYC on

      I don’t want a handout, I want my paycheck to mean something and the government to crack down on all these companies screwing us.

    44. GhostOfLegend on

      Printing money doesn’t solve the rising grocery prices and inflation.
