More help with everyday costs coming for more families

Through the BC Family Benefit Bonus, families will be able to receive more financial relief starting in July. To help cover everyday expenses, the BC Family Benefit Bonus ensures that more families will receive more financial support. This expansion will benefit roughly 340,000 low to middle-income families throughout the province — an estimated 66,000 more families. Announced in Budget 2024, the bonus is a boost of up to $445 over a 12-month period: for example, with this rise a family of four could potentially receive up to $3,563 annually. This is part of the government’s effort to help people with the cost of living. Other recent measures include a fourth ICBC rebate, the BC Electricity Affordability Credit, and more.
