Alberta has extended the original application period by 31 days, giving eligible residents another month to claim the one-time payment.
More than 1.45 million Albertans have already applied for or received the rebate, and over 97 per cent of them have received their $100 payment.
“More than 1.45 million Albertans have already applied for and received the rebate. By extending the deadline, we are giving more families the time they need to apply and receive real relief,” said Jason Nixon, President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance.
The rebate program launched July 1 and is funded through increased provincial revenues from higher oil prices.
For households, the total payment can be higher than $100. An eligible two-adult household can receive $200, while additional eligible adult family members or children aged 18 or older living in the same home may qualify for another $100 each.
Who qualifies for the $100 rebate?
Applicants must meet all four requirements:
- Be 18 or older as of July 1, 2026
- Be an Alberta resident
- Have filed a 2025 tax return
- Have a total annual household income of $225,000 or less
The province has also added another way to verify applications. Residents can now use their 2025 Notice of Assessment, in addition to online banking or document verification, when applying through the online portal.
Some Albertans did not need to apply. A total of 315,422 people receiving the Alberta Seniors Benefit or enrolled in AISH, the Alberta Disability Assistance Program, or Income Support were automatically enrolled for the payment.
The $100 rebate is not taxableand does not need to be reported to the Canada Revenue Agency. Receiving it will also not change benefit amounts or eligibility under the listed provincial assistance programs or federal seniors’ programs.
The application portal will close Oct. 31.
