Generally, the benefit was available to people:

• Who were residents of B.C. on December 18, 2020
• Are at least 19 years of age on December 18, 2020, or meet specific eligibility criteria
• Have filed a 2019 Canadian personal tax return, or meet specific eligibility criteria
• Have a valid social insurance number (SIN), individual tax number or temporary tax number

So you’re saying people moved to BC between December 8th when it was announced and the cut off on December 18th for $500?
