Watch for scam texts

The government warns of scam texts about the rebate. Do not click links in text messages; apply only through the official Alberta.ca portal. The government will not send money by text message. (1 July 2026 to 31 October 2026) [source]

Open Alberta.ca yourself if a message leaves you unsure.

Is there also a gas rebate?

Yes. The natural gas rebate is a separate program tied to the monthly gas price. Receiving an energy payment does not mean a gas credit is due.
