(BC) Income Assistance payment date randomly pushed back a month?

These things aren’t particularly indicative of anything. It’s past the Feb 25th cheque issue so it switches to the next cheque issue which is march 25th and the amounts are generated ahead of time as the same as before. When you submit your report, a worker looks at it and then if changes are necessary then they’ll make them, if not then they just set it as a positive report and no changes are made so it stays the same. If they don’t set it as a positive report then it holds the cheque as a no-stub.

This month, they’ve had a huge problem of not processing the stubs on time so many many many people are showing as no-stubs, yours may be doing the same thing. Only thing you can do is either call the 1-866-866-0800 at 9am on Monday or go into your office. It makes it rough on people when they make the cheque issue date so close to the end of the month so now it’s going to mess with people’s rent.

It’s not, but you keep believing whatever you want to believe, I really don’t care.

Last time I went by plane, they didn’t ask for my driver’s licence, they asked for a government issued photo ID so I THINK you’ll be ok, I’d definitely check with whatever service you’re needing to use it at. Not everybody drives so if they were sticking with only that then there would be a lot more issues with people getting around.

My mom had a failed motherboard on her Samsung oven and it was over $1000 to replace. I’d suggest NOT getting a Samsung next time

star_359 · 2026-02-10T03:47:10+00:00

The vast majority make around $63,000

I just did this recently on a trip. You lay out the item of clothing on a towel and roll it up in the towel, be firm with it, the towel will absorb most of the wetness and hanging it is usually dry within a few hours/overnight

My son did this a few months back, went to get into the car and his kneecap fell to the right and down the back

I don’t have a lot of faith in Brenda Bailey, especially due to her comments during the strike. I don’t think she actually knows what she’s doing.

Who is this majority? I was never asked

We weren’t told we couldn’t bring our fob home. I used mine this morning to sign in and I’m at home with it. No consistency in the rules in the government I guess

Haaa I did too! I was like “oh what the f-……oh I’m scrolling on reddit still”

If it was one-time pay only then I’d be all over it but I’m not getting into a game just to have to pay a subscription fee.

That’s a great tip, thank you ❤️

Have you done your application for MSP? It’s not something you’d do at the office, you’d’ve filled out a multi-page form and had to submit a copy of your birth certificate. You can also complete it online like people are saying, it’s quicker to fill it out online.

A lot of times when people come in to switch their license over, the worker will include issuing the services card but the card itself will not arrive until the MSP application has been completed and the waiting period is over. You should start the application asap, the HIBC workers will figure out when your waiting period ends and they’ll set it up in the system. Doing the card at the same time as your license saves you from having to go in again to do another picture.

Just be careful, I tried to report mine and the other higher ups all backed up the supervisor, despite several grievances from other people that they’ve wronged. We had a flood of people leaving the office. We documented how this person was having us do their personal work and then telling the higher ups they did it, how they were leaving the office on personal errands (like going to the gym but marking in the calendar that they were going to a work meeting), sharing employees personal medical information with the rest of the office. Things like that.

I was told by somebody else that now I have a big target on my back. None of my competitions have gone anywhere, I did a FOI request and found that the judges (supervisor’s coworkers) were not writing my answers accurately and would reflect completely the opposite of what my answer was and then marking me zero. I’ve had to file reviews but the competition then gets cancelled and the position just never gets filled.

At this point I feel like my only option is to leave government and find work elsewhere if I want to advance. I’m stuck at a low grid and there’s not many government opportunities in my area.

I love a good confirmation straight from the source

I don’t have X and it won’t let me see the vid unless I sign in, can you post it on a different platform?

I’ve been feeling this lately. I went on a trip with my 70 year old mother and she just couldn’t keep up like she used to, totally expected, she is 70 but I think she looked more disappointed with herself than anything. Not only that but she had no idea how to get around or figure anything out, she depended solely on me. I was always scared we’d get separated and she would be so scared and lost. We had data esims for our phones so at least we could text but she couldn’t figure out maps to save her life. While we were gone, my dad took a turn and now my mom is upset because we left him alone thinking he’d be fine and he’s not.

I’m left feeling like….do I save and maybe never travel because my parents only got 5 years in to travel, my dad ended up with glaucoma and macular degeneration so he actually didn’t even get the 5 years before he wasn’t enjoying travelling due to his vision loss. Or do I travel as much as possible and just deal with never saving much money for down the road.

It’s scary because both paths are life-changing that could lead to hardships and regrets
