Alberta Extends Deadline by One Month to Apply for $100 Affordability Rebate
More than 1.45 million Albertans have already applied, and eligible households can also receive fuel tax relief of 13 cents per litre.
- On Wednesday, Sept. 30, the Government of Alberta extended the application deadline for the $100 Alberta Energy Rebate by one month to Oct. 31, giving families additional time to apply for the direct payment.
- Following public dissatisfaction with the rebate program, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced the province will resume pausing the 13-cent provincial fuel tax starting Thursday to help combat pump costs.
- Nearly 3.4 million Albertans are eligible for the rebate, though Finance Minister Jason Nixon noted only about 1.5 million have applied so far, prompting the government to add a third payment verification option online.
- Starting Thursday, the fuel tax pause will save Albertans 13 cents per litre on gasoline and diesel through year-end, while eligible households can receive $100 rebates for each adult and child in their home.
- The Government stated that extending the rebate deadline and suspending the fuel tax are ways to use its strong financial position to keep costs down, ensuring Alberta remains an affordable place to live and work.
