Check your eligibility

These are the same six questions the official application asks.

1. Do you currently reside in Alberta?

2. Were you 18 years of age or older on July 1, 2026?

3. Have you received your 2025 Notice of Assessment (NOA)?The NOA is the summary the CRA sends after processing your 2025 tax return. If it hasn't been issued yet, the government cannot verify your income and your application will be rejected.

4. Was your income on your 2025 tax return $225,000 or less?This is your income as reported on your 2025 income tax return — the same figure the program checks against the CRA.

5. On your 2025 tax return, did you report your marital status as married or common-law?Either answer is fine — this doesn't affect eligibility. If yes, you'll need your spouse or partner's details to apply.

6. Do you have a verified Alberta.ca Account?You sign in to the rebate portal with a verified Alberta.ca Account. If you don't have one yet, you can create and verify it before applying — see the steps below.

Answer all six questions to see your result.

What you need before you apply

A verified Alberta.ca Account

Not just a basic account — it must be identity-verified. Setup steps below.

Your Social Insurance Number (SIN)

The program verifies your income directly with the CRA using your SIN — you consent to this in the application.

Your 2025 Notice of Assessment issued

You don't upload it, but if the CRA hasn't issued it, your application will be rejected.

If you were married or common-law on your 2025 return: your spouse or partner's details

Their legal name, date of birth, and SIN — exactly as reported on the 2025 income tax return.

The application saves automatically — you can leave and resume it later from the portal.

Setting up your verified Alberta.ca Account

The fastest way to verify your identity is the Interac verification service — you sign in to your online banking and your bank confirms who you are. It works with these financial institutions:

BMOCIBCDesjardinsFirst West — Envision FinancialFirst West — Valley FirstFirst West — Island SavingsLibroNational BankProsperaRBCScotiabankTD Canada Trust

Bank with ATB or Servus? Alberta's two biggest local institutions — ATB Financial and Servus Credit Union — are not on the Interac verification list, and neither are online banks like Tangerine or Simplii. If your bank isn't listed, use one of the other identity verification options offered during Alberta.ca Account setup instead of the bank option.

How to apply — step by step

The full official flow, from tax return to money in your account.

1
Make sure your 2025 Notice of Assessment has been issued
File your 2025 tax return if you haven't already. Wait until the CRA issues your NOA — applying before it exists gets your application rejected. You can confirm it in CRA My Account.
2
Create and verify your Alberta.ca Account
If you don't already have one, create an Alberta.ca Account and complete identity verification — fastest through the Interac bank sign-in if your bank is supported (see the list above).
3
Go to energyrebate.alberta.ca and press “Apply now”
Sign in with your verified Alberta.ca Account. If you started earlier, use “Resume application” — your progress is saved automatically.
4
Answer the eligibility questions
Alberta residency, 18+ on July 1 2026, 2025 NOA received, marital status on your 2025 return, and income of $225,000 or less. These are the same questions as the checker above, so you already know your answers.
5
Enter your SIN — and your spouse's details if married or common-law
You'll provide your Social Insurance Number and consent to the government verifying your income with the CRA. If you reported married or common-law in 2025, enter your spouse or partner's legal name, date of birth, and SIN exactly as on the tax return.
6
Submit and save your Application Code
You'll get a confirmation email with an Application Code and your payment date. You can return to the portal any time to check your application status.

After you apply: status and payment

Right after submitting you'll receive a confirmation email from the Alberta Energy Rebate program with your Application Code. Keep it — it's how you reference your application.

The same email tells you your payment date: the government reviews your application and, if approved, pays you by the date stated in your email. Applications submitted in early July 2026 were given payment dates about one to two weeks out (for example, a July 8 application showed payment by Friday, July 17, 2026).

You can sign back in at energyrebate.alberta.ca at any time to check your application status, view your Application Code, and see the CRA income-verification consent you provided.

Alberta Energy Rebate — common questions

Who qualifies for the Alberta Energy Rebate?

You qualify if you currently live in Alberta, were 18 or older on July 1, 2026, your 2025 Notice of Assessment has been issued, and your income on your 2025 tax return was $225,000 or less. You apply online with a verified Alberta.ca Account.

What do I need to apply for the Alberta Energy Rebate?

Three things: a verified Alberta.ca Account, your Social Insurance Number, and — if you reported married or common-law on your 2025 return — your spouse or partner's legal name, date of birth, and SIN as reported on that return.

What if I haven't received my 2025 Notice of Assessment?

Wait before applying. The official application warns that if your NOA hasn't been issued, your income can't be verified and your application will be rejected. File your 2025 taxes, wait for the CRA to issue the NOA, then apply.

Can I verify my Alberta.ca Account with ATB or Servus?

The Interac verification service used for bank-based identity verification supports BMO, CIBC, Desjardins, First West (Envision, Valley First, Island Savings), Libro, National Bank, Prospera, RBC, Scotiabank, and TD — but not ATB Financial or Servus. If your bank isn't supported, use one of the other identity verification options offered during Alberta.ca Account setup.

What is the deadline to apply for the Alberta Energy Rebate?

Applications close September 30, 2026. The portal opened July 1, 2026, and there is no late claim — if you miss the window, you don't get the $100. If you're waiting on your 2025 Notice of Assessment, file your taxes as soon as possible so your NOA arrives before the deadline.

When do I get the Alberta Energy Rebate payment?

Your confirmation email states your exact payment date. If your application is approved, payment arrives by that date — early-July 2026 applications showed payment dates about one to two weeks after applying.

How do I check my Alberta Energy Rebate application status?

Sign in at energyrebate.alberta.ca with your Alberta.ca Account. You can view your application status and Application Code there at any time. Your Application Code is also in your confirmation email.

Can I save my Alberta Energy Rebate application and finish it later?

Yes. The application saves automatically as you go. Return to energyrebate.alberta.ca and choose “Resume application” to pick up where you left off.
