Sounds like anyone in the household can apply(but only one application per household)...so if a spouse makes less then 25k, they apply

(atleast thats how it sounds)

I amreading it as only those who make less than 25 k..total family income
"
Total family income will be defined as combined total income of the applicant and his or her spouse or common-law partner living at the same address;
So because I make less than 25k but my total family income is MORE than 25k I dont get it...where is the fairness there...

The fairness is that the people with a total family income of less than 25k who really need the help can get it. There has to be a line drawn somewhere or else everyone would want a peice of it.
Be happy your total family income is more than that, because as hard as you might find it to make ends meet , imagine if you had less than the 25k to get by on. Instead of griping, just remember, it can always be worse.

You know the only thing that bothers me about this whole thing is it is the hard working families paying high taxes who suffer all the time. I am not against people who don't make over $25,000 because I know that they too do work hard but I am against this whole issue. Most people do have to pay for heat but they can't get one extra cent back as a rebate.I even heard last time this happened people got the rebate but they don't even pay for heat, it was included in their rents.It should be available for all paying out heating money.They are always looking at what people bring in but do they ever look at what people put out!

I did hear that last year when they did this..I believe it was for $250, That it automaticly went out to families with children who got the child tax..who made under a certain amount as well..I know of a friend that got this and she didnt have to show a heating bill, and i do believe that her heating was in her rent..(so there probably should be Rules to this,,having to show your heating bills..Etc)

It says to either just include a copy of a power bill or if heat is included in rent then all you need to do is give them the landlords name. This is to verify your address. Check out application from nosetothegrind.

The goverment scrapped the program were you saved your bills for 3 months then apply for the rebate on the HST.Now they have brought in this heating supplement for people who make under 25,000.Who knows what they will do next .

I am not griping and I have made less ..alot less

My point was maybe what someone pays in heat/electricity whatever should be taken into consideration not just what u make a year.(my self I still dont make anywhere near 25K) but I pay out ALOT in heat .. and after paying for rent /heat/phone etc and feeding and clothing 3 kids..you know it adds up...

My electric bill comes in at around $3600.00 per year.

How much of a rebate should I qualify for??

Maybe heating rebates aren't the answer?
Maybe the government needs to better educate people on energy conservation and how simple things can save you money.
Or even invest more into renewable energy sources that don't rely on the high price of oil...
