Alberta Government's Working Parents Benefit: One-Time Payment

March 8, 2021 | Prairies

Working families have faced additional pressure and costs because of the pandemic. Some have lost their jobs, some are working fewer hours, and most families have experienced more anxiety and stress. As a result, fewer families have been using childcare, which has meant that money normally used to support families through childcare subsidies has not been spent.

To support working parents who have paid for childcare and are in need of assistance so they can continue working during the pandemic, the Alberta government is providing the Working Parents Benefit, a one-time payment of $561 per child. Families can apply starting Monday, March 1. For more information, please visit the Alberta Government's Working Parents Benefit site. 

If you need assistance in applying, please call the Access Line at +1 (888) 536-3599.
