The Canadian government has officially confirmed the next round of $628 rebate payments, scheduled for August 2025. This direct financial support aims to help households offset rising costs linked to inflation, carbon pricing, and other living expenses.
Distributed through the Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP) and other federal rebate programs, this payout is tax-free and automatically deposited for eligible residents. Here’s everything you need to know about the $628 August 2025 rebate, including who qualifies and when to expect it.
What Is the $628 Canada Rebate?
The $628 rebate is part of Canada’s federal initiative to return carbon tax revenue directly to households. It is mainly distributed under the Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP) and is designed to ease the financial impact of environmental pricing policies.
This amount may vary depending on your:
- Province of residence
- Family size
- Filing status (single or with dependents)
In some regions, this amount includes both a base payment and rural supplement for residents living outside major metropolitan areas.
Who Is Eligible for the $628 Rebate?
To receive the $628 rebate in August 2025, individuals must meet the following criteria:
- Be a resident of an eligible province (such as Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, etc.)
- Be 19 years or older, or have a spouse/common-law partner, or be a parent living with your child
- Have filed a 2024 tax return – even if you had no income
- Live outside of certain metropolitan zones, if applying for the rural supplement
🔔 The rebate is calculated based on family structure. For example, a family of four may receive more than $628 depending on their location.
When Will the $628 Be Paid?
The government has confirmed that the next CAIP payment date is August 15, 2025. Here’s how it will be distributed:
- Direct Deposit: Automatically deposited into your bank account linked with the CRA
- Cheque (if no direct deposit): May take an additional 5–10 business days to arrive
You can check your payment status via the CRA MyAccount portal.
How to Confirm Eligibility and Payment Status
To verify your payment details and ensure everything is in order:
- Log in to CRA MyAccount
- Go to the “Benefits and Credits” section
- Look under “Climate Action Incentive Payment” or recent benefits
- Update your banking and mailing information, if necessary
If you’re eligible and haven’t received a payment by the expected date, you can submit an inquiry directly through your CRA account or call CRA support.
Additional Support Based on Province
The CAIP amount differs by province. Here’s a general idea of how much families may receive in August 2025:
| Province | Single Adult | Family of Four |
|---|---|---|
| Alberta | $628 | Up to $1,250+ |
| Saskatchewan | $586 | Up to $1,150+ |
| Manitoba | $528 | Up to $1,050+ |
| Ontario | $488 | Up to $1,000+ |
Note: Amounts include base payment and potential rural supplement.
Why This Rebate Matters
With the cost of essentials such as fuel, groceries, and utilities rising, the $628 rebate provides direct, tax-free relief to help Canadian families manage expenses. It also ensures that households are compensated for increased costs due to federal carbon pricing—especially in provinces where the tax applies more broadly.
Final Thoughts
The $628 rebate scheduled for August 2025 is part of a broader federal initiative to keep affordability within reach for Canadian households. If you’re eligible, make sure your taxes are filed, your CRA information is accurate, and your direct deposit details are up to date.
