Guest Report post Posted April 4, 2020 On top of the CERB, people entitled to GST/HST credit will get a special payment on Thursday(April 9th). The amount varies between $443 and $1160 depending on marital status and more if got children under 19. This special increase is based on the 2018 income tax return and you don't need to apply for it other than filing for that year. More details here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/child-family-benefits/covid-19-gsthstc-increase.html Also, If registered to the CRA website, you can log in and look in "Benefits and credits" to immediately see if you qualify and how much you'll receive. As I wasn't expecting anything, I'm pleasantly surprised with this little extra help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
