The Government of Manitoba will be providing residents with financial help to deal with inflation and rising costs.
Premier Heather Stefanson made the announcement today saying that the province will be spending $87M on, what she calls, a family affordability package.
As part of the package, families with children and a household income of less than $175,000 in 2021 will receive a benefit cheque of $250 for the first child and $200 for each additional child.
Seniors with less than $40,000 in family income who claimed an education property tax credit in 2021 will receive a benefit cheque of $300.
Cheques will be mailed to eligible individuals in late September.
More information can be found on the Province of Manitoba website.
