Premier Danielle Smith is offering Albertans a one-time payment of $100 to help pay their bills.
She says the payment will be made instead of the province reducing its tax on gasoline at the pumps.
People can start applying for the payments starting July 1. Smith says nearly 3.4 million adults will be eligible.
She says the payment ensures money gets into the hands of families facing rising costs for everything from food to housing and transportation.
