Since January, nearly 1.2 million Albertans have enrolled in and have been receiving up to $600 in affordability relief payments to help with rising costs. This includes Albertans receiving monthly benefits through AISH, Income Support, Alberta Seniors Benefit or services through Persons with Developmental Disabilities.
To ensure that affordability support is going to those who need it most, about 25,000 Albertans enrolled in the Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPPD) benefit who are not already receiving affordability payments through other eligible core support programs will soon receive their affordability relief payment. The payments will start being delivered in late April and May
In the coming weeks, eligible CPPD recipients will receive payments automatically – no application necessary – with one-time cheques up to $600 mailed directly to them.
The lump-sum cheques will cover the months between January and June 2023, providing payments for the duration of the affordability payment program.
