Ontario parents will receive at least $400 cash in pandemic payout!!!!!
Ontario parents will receive another round of pandemic pay, as the provincial government doubles the COVID-19 cheques for families.
The Ford government announced families will receive $400 per school-aged child in 2021 – up from $200 last year – and $500 for children with special needs to help cover increased technology costs of online learning among other COVID-19 expenses.
The province says any family will be eligible for the latest pandemic payment program, regardless of family income, and those who received the benefit last year won’t need to re-enroll.
The government says the additional payment will cost another $908 million in 2021, for a total of $1.8 billion since the start of the pandemic.
