Filing your income tax is an easy way to get tax benefits from the government. Receiving tax benefits doesn’t affect your assistance.

You may owe money to the government if you are no longer on assistance and received:

  • Hardship assistance you have to pay back
  • Money for assistance you didn’t qualify for
  • Repayable money or supplements, such as a security deposit
