For residents of Quebec looking for extra money or ways to supplement inflation, the Quebec government offers several benefits and credits throughout December that could put you in a better spot financially. The Quebec government is disbursing several credits and benefits including the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP), Family Allowance, Shelter Allowance, Old Age Security and the Canada Workers' Benefit, to name a few.

In November 2021, the Quebec government announced an investment of $10.7 billion over the next five years to provide financial aid to students across the province through the Quebec Perspective Scholarship program. Students in specific fields of study could now be eligible for anywhere from $9,000 to $20,000 all as a way to combat the lack of personnel in various Quebec industries.

Make some room in your wallet. 3.3 million Quebecers are about to get some extra cash. On Thursday, Finance Minister Eric Girard announced an "exceptional" new Quebec benefit program that will give $275 to single residents and $400 to couples who qualify for the solidarity tax credit.
