Emergency Fuel and Food Benefit

If you are Indigenous there are many things that affect the benefits you can get and the dollar amounts you can get from them. These include the agreements your band or governing body has with provincial, territorial, and federal governments. Before applying to any benefits, you should speak with your governing body, if applicable.
<ul>
<li>If you are First Nations: speak with your administration, band, or governing body</li>
<li>If you are Inuit: speak with your governing body or hamlet administration office</li>
<li>If you are Métis: speak with your governing body, if applicable.</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://afoa.ca/">AFOA Canada</a> and <a href="https://prospercanada.org/">Prosper Canada</a> are currently seeking funding to develop an online tool that serves the needs of Indigenous people living in Canada.

Important

If you do not have legal status in Canada, or if you are a temporary resident, you should seek legal advice before applying to any benefits. If you get benefits that you aren’t eligible for, you might end up having to pay them back. You can find free legal services for people living on low incomes on the Government of Canada’s <a href="https://canada.justice.gc.ca/eng/fund-fina/gov-gouv/aid-aide/">Legal Aid Program</a> website. On it, there are links for programs in every province and territory.

You said &quot;no&quot; when we asked &quot;are you up to date on filing your taxes?&quot;
You can only get this benefit by filing your taxes.
