If you go to http://www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/documents_library/forms/0131FILL.pdf you can get a form for a $100 one time payment for the Climate Action Dividend. It's for kids. I just found out about it. It isn't much, but it's a $100 bucks for each kid under 18. It seems to be available for all despite income, so your ship has come in, and all your worldly dreams have come true.

You prolific breeders could make quite a haul.

Don't ask me about the sense of it all. I have no answers.

Spread the news.

Did anyone here get it automatically? No one I know seems to have.

Edit. Apparently it's not just for kids. I guess wait and see if you get it and if not then use the form. It should be out towards the end of June, beginning of July.

Aw. That very well could be. Another person posted a comment saying that was the case. The form only specifies people under 18. Take heart. You very well might get $100.

Everyone gets it who filed a 2007 tax return. Those who didn't (specifically kids) need to be registered to receive it, hence the form.

You don't necessarily have to fill out the form to receive the money, and it's not just for children.

"Every B.C. adult and child, an estimated 4.4 million of us, will get the one-time-only $100 cheque, which is tax-free.

Anyone who has filed a 2006 or 2007 tax return by April 30 will receive the cheque in the mail.

For those who haven't filed a return yet, they can still get the dividend by filling out a form through the Ministry of Small Business and Revenue."

and if you have already claimed your children on the 2006 or 2007 tax return and recieve the child tax benefit, then you will get it automatically. it will probably show up around the same time as the ctb, making that the 20th or around then depending on how you get your tax returns or ctb.(cheques or direct deposit)

So instead of the government using the $440,000,000 to do something useful, they are going to give each person a piddling $100. Our government is just too special for words.

So this is what my mom's friends/relatives have been talking about.

Thanks!

I just emailed the Ministry of Small Business and revenue, and if for some reason you HAVEN'T filed your 2006 or 2007 tax return, you need to fill out THE SAME FORM as the one you would need to fill out to declare dependants.

That form is already online.

Just an FYI.
