This payment will apply to about 340,000 families who will receive the money by deposit or mailed cheques starting in mid-July.
“The 25 per cent increase through the bonus means a family of four could potentially receive as much as $3,563 annually, while a single parent with one child could receive as much as $2,688,” the B.C. government said in a press release.
