COVID-19 Action Plan
COVID-19 has touched every aspect of our lives here in BC. That’s why, today, our BC NDP government announced the COVID-19 Action Plan.
The plan will provide extra supports to British Columbians who are worried about staying afloat:
- Workers whose incomes have been affected can access a tax-free $1,000-dollar payment.
- Thanks to new legislation, no one will lose their job for following the advice of the Provincial Health Officer.
- For the many people who carry student loans, repayments are suspended until September 30.
- BC Hydro customers can defer their bill payments, with no penalty.
- ICBC customers on monthly Autoplan payment plans can also defer their payments for 90 days, with no penalty.
In addition, a comprehensive plan to help renters will be announced as soon as Wednesday.
While this crisis continues, we need to make sure people can pay their bills, stay safe in their homes, and provide for their families.
More information, including how to access these benefits, will be available in coming days.
