@CMHC_ca To be eligible a single person's income must be less than $20,000. That number insults other low income folks who's income is $21,000 and up. What happens if one's income is one dollar more? Is the $500 pro-rated? BTW, the subsidy should be $500 per month NOT $500 for one year.
@LeeannPoffenro1 The income thresholds were selected to target lower-income individuals and families most impacted by inflation. Existing federal benefits targeted towards low-income individuals and families such as the Canada Workers Benefit-
@LeeannPoffenro1 and GST/HST credit have income thresholds similar to those used for the top-up to the CHB.
