GST cheques going up?

[~London mom~]

I don't think its for the OSTC that its showing for. I think its for the HST rebate. Because if you'll notice, right beside the GST/HST tab there is an OSTC tab... that is showing me how much I'll get when that comes out again.

I would like to say it confused me SOOO much because it more than doubled, but I noticed it AFTER I submitted info after I had my daughter in July. But I was pretty sure it wasn't going to be that much... I guess we'll see though in Oct.

If you add your GST payment ( One received on July 5 ) + The OSTC payment ( One received on Aug 10 ) ... does it equal to the NEW GST payment they are showing for Oct 5 ?

If that's the cas maybe they are just showing the addition of the 2 & the GST rebate might not have gone up after all

I just checked the online system agan and it's back to normal. It is showing my expected payments for both GST and OSTC separate and at the same amount of what I recieved the last time. It was probably just the system merging the two payments together. Check yours and see if it shows the same

That's too bad that means no higher GST payment :-(
