Eby said the credit will provide as much as an additional $164 per adult and $41 per child up to $410 for a family with two kids.
“We know this won’t cover all the bills, but it will take some of the pressure off for families who need it most right now,” he said.
The first round of credit went out to residents in January. The provincial government says 85 per cent of people in B.C. automatically received part or all of the credit through the Canada Revenue Agency. About half will get the full credit.Article contentFor example, an individual with an income up to $36,901 will get the full credit of $164 per adult and $41 per child. The credit will be indexed up to an annual income of $79,376, and those above the maximum will not get a credit.
The province also topped up the B.C. Family Benefit payments in January, with matching payments expected this month and March. That benefit will be up to $58.33 per child each month depending on income level. A family with two children will receive up to $350 in total.
